Organizing a corporate seminar in Annecy: the guide to the 5 spaces at Chez Ingalls

Date of publication:
8.9.2026

Looking for a place to bring your team together in Annecy? Chez Ingalls offers five private spaces in the city center, accommodating 19 to 200 people for meetings, business lunches, or after-work drinks. Continuous service from 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM, with personalized support from our sales team.

Located at 29 Rue Vaugelas in the heart of downtown Annecy, our restaurant has been built on a simple idea since 2004: to welcome everyone, regardless of the format. Whether it's a small committee meeting, a business lunch, a seminar, a cocktail reception, or a back-to-work after-work event, we have the space you need and a team to support you from the technical details to the menu.

Why host your seminar at Chez Ingalls?

Three reasons come up most often among our professional clients.

First, the location. On Rue Vaugelas, just a stone's throw from shops, a parking garage, and the Old Town: easy to access for both your team and your outside guests.

Next, the continuous service. From 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM, 7 days a week, you aren't restricted by standard service hours. A meeting that runs over, a lunch starting at 2:00 PM, an after-work event that stretches on: our service adapts to your schedule, not the other way around.

Finally, the support. Our sales team plans your event with you, from choosing the space to the menu, for a turnkey result.

Which space should you choose based on the size of your event?

Five spaces, five atmospheres. Here is how to find your way around.

The Winter Garden

Up to 200 people. A bright room, open in all seasons: our largest space, designed for large-scale events.

The Caroline Lounge

Up to 150 people. A cozy setting for your receptions and seated meals, balancing conviviality and professionalism.

The Little House

Up to 24 people. A private lounge, perfect for small-group business meetings in complete tranquility.

Charles' Cellar

Up to 19 people. An intimate space, suitable for both small meetings and casual get-togethers.

The Black Bar

With a cozy atmosphere inspired by London clubs. The ideal setting for a relaxed after-work drink, between work sessions, or to wrap up the day.

And to make the most of beautiful days: our shaded terrace, nestled in a private courtyard away from street noise, allows you to host part of your event in a peaceful setting, indoors or outdoors depending on the season.

Meeting, business lunch, or after-work drinks: which format for which need?

Depending on the goal of your event, the space and the package will vary.

Work meeting followed by a seated meal : the Petite Maison or Charles' Cellar for privacy, the Caroline Lounge or the Winter Garden for larger groups.

Business lunch : our more intimate spaces allow for undisturbed discussion, with service designed to respect the flow of your conversation.

Cocktail reception or after-work drinks : the Black Bar sets the tone for a relaxed moment after a day of work, while the Caroline Lounge or the Winter Garden accommodate larger formats.

In any case, our sales team will tailor the seated meal, cocktail, or combination of both to your specific needs.

What Chez Ingalls brings to your professional events

Chez Ingalls has been around since 2004: over twenty years of hospitality in downtown Annecy, with a significant focus on professional events. We offer five truly distinct spaces—not just simple partitions of a single room—allowing us to adapt the venue to the exact size of your group, rather than the other way around. Our continuous service from 12 p.m. to 10 p.m., a rarity in Annecy, removes a scheduling constraint that many of our professional clients cite as a top benefit. Plus, our team oversees every event from menu design to the big day, so you don't have to worry about logistics or unexpected issues.
