In March 2026, Paris packs in B2B meet-ups (industry, logistics, pharma, digital, design…). Here’s a clear, pro-focused agenda with venues, key opening hours and practical tips to make the most of your trip from Hôtel R de Paris.
Based in the 9th arrondissement, just a short walk from Saint-Lazare, the hotel is convenient for getting to Porte de Versailles, Villepinte and central venues (Tuileries, Carrousel du Louvre, Palais Brongniart).
Insider tip: secure your badges online in advance, block out meeting slots and allow extra time during peak hours.

Getting there from Hôtel R de Paris
Recommended route to Porte de Versailles: Metro line 12 from Saint-Lazare to “Porte de Versailles” (around 25 to 35 min depending on connections and crowd levels).
Alternative: taxi/VTC (around 25 to 45 min depending on traffic). For Villepinte and Le Bourget, our team will point you to the simplest RER route (often via Gare du Nord).
Why stay at Hôtel R de Paris during trade shows
For a successful business trip, location matters as much as comfort: you save time in the morning, recover better in the evening, and stay efficient over several days.
- A business base in Paris 9 : easy access from Saint-Lazare/Opéra, convenient for combining several expo venues.
- Comfort & calm : rooms designed for rest and preparing meetings (see our rooms).
- Recovery : a useful break between two days (discover the fitness & spa area).
Before you head out, consider our breakfast: an easy way to start early or squeeze in a final check-in before entering the show.
