A palace between the ocean and the mountains,
on Spain's doorstep. Born in a wintry 1900 neo-rococo setting of
sumptuous parties, in 1930 it became a casino with a neo-classic
façade. At the dawn of the XXIth century, this "Beaumont
palace" was reborn and magnified through the architect François
Lombard's "contemporary interpretation of the region's memories".
To the 1900 bell towers and the 1930 grand hall, were added two
winter gardens. The basement was transformed into a lower level
garden, where natural light could flood in, and with that, bring
admirable views of the Beaumont park and the Pyrenees. To echo this
natural splendour, the interior is decorated with delicate woodwork
and carpets patterned with vegetation to reflect the room's surroundings.

Aside
from the casino, the billiard academy and a restaurant, the palace
boasts an ultra-modern congress hall which is sprawled over some 8
500 m2 on three levels. |
| Twenty
six areas ranging from 23 m2 to 900 m2, all naturally lit, are equipped
with loud speaker systems, computer and image data facilities. Two
auditoriums with 196 and 544 places, eleven commission rooms, and
the Ambassador room (800 m2, 560 dining places) opens onto the park
which is reflected off the wall mirrors

Congress centre partners,
around forty hotels (* to *****) in town, and a few others in the
surrounding areas, welcome the members of congress. |
To dine
them, within are two restaurants, the casino's saloon, and an outside
caterer, not to mention the numerous gastronomic offerings in the
centre of town.
The Beaumont palace is one of France's two historical congress centres
technically, enough to host 50 to 2 000 people for a wide range of
events. Aesthetically speaking, a dream. |
