Organising a group trip often starts with a simple search: finding a reliable hotel-restaurant in a good location that can comfortably accommodate several dozen guests. For over twenty years, RestoGroupes has been supporting tourism professionals through a network of independent hotel-restaurants committed to a quality charter dedicated to hosting groups.
Today, the network is taking a new step forward with the launch of its new website, designed to be simpler and clearer to use, and better tailored to the needs of its users. In this article, we outline the changes to this new platform, as well as the improvements that make it easier to organise group meals, coach stops and group stays throughout France.
A new RestoGroupes website to make organising group trips easier
RestoGroupes has launched a new version of its website. This revamp has a simple aim: to help group travel organisers find a venue that meets their needs more quickly.
Since 2004, the network has brought together independent hotels and restaurants specialising in accommodating groups throughout France. Today, more than 320 establishments are part of this initiative and welcome tourist, school, business and community groups every year.
With this new platform, searching is now easier than ever. Key information is readily available, making it simpler to organise a group meal, a stopover on a tour or a group holiday.
A platform designed for tourism professionals
Coach operators, travel agencies, associations, businesses or schools: the website has been designed to meet the specific needs of group organisers.
Users can freely browse the establishments in the network, access useful information and contact the hotels and restaurants directly to request a quote or check availability.
Communication remains simple and quick. Venues undertake to reply within 24 hours at the latest, and prices are provided directly, without any intermediaries, to ensure a direct relationship between the organiser and the venue.
A simpler and clearer experience for users
With this revamp, RestoGroupes offers a more intuitive and user-friendly platform.
The new website focuses on user-friendliness, clear information and direct access to the network’s establishments.
smoother navigation
The new interface makes it easier for groups to search for venues. Users can now access regions, destinations and venues more quickly.
The map of France and the regional pages make it easy to identify the hotel-restaurants located in a particular area. This layout makes it easier for coach operators, travel agencies and organisations to plan a tour or a holiday.
Each venue page brings together the key information needed to quickly assess whether the restaurant or hotel-restaurant meets the group’s requirements.
More structured information
The new website provides more information about the venues and services available for groups. The information sheets clearly outline the details needed to organise a group trip:
- group capacity
- geographical location
- services available
- facilities suitable for groups
A more user-friendly website, true to the spirit of the network
With this new version of the website, RestoGroupes is not only modernising its digital platform. The network is also reaffirming what has set it apart for over twenty years: an independent hospitality sector dedicated to catering for groups.
Behind every venue, there are teams who know the local area well and who help organisers plan their events.
Establishments with strong regional roots
The hotels and restaurants in the network all have one thing in common: a strong attachment to their region and a passion for welcoming travellers.
Whether it’s a meal stop on a coach tour, a school trip or a business trip, each establishment offers an experience that reflects its local area. Groups thus discover not only a venue tailored to their needs, but also a destination and local expertise.
A direct and personalised relationship
Organising a group trip often relies on simple and effective communication. That is why RestoGroupes encourages direct contact between organisers and venues.
Enquiries are handled directly by the hotel and restaurant teams, who are familiar with their accommodation capacity and the specific features of their destination. This direct relationship enables us to provide swift responses tailored to the needs of each group.
A new visual identity to reflect RestoGroupes’ evolution
The website redesign also marks a shift in the network’s image. This new version features a modernised artistic direction that better reflects the spirit of RestoGroupes: a professional network, firmly rooted in local communities and dedicated to catering for groups.
This new visual identity creates greater consistency between the content, the visuals and the user experience.
Visuals that showcase the destinations
The new website gives greater prominence to photos and the surroundings of the venues. This approach enables group organisers to get a better sense of the destinations offered by the network.
Regions, towns and establishments are now presented in a more immersive way, making it easier to plan a holiday or a stop for a meal during a tour.
A more modern image for the network
This new artistic direction also reflects the network’s evolution and its commitment to staying in tune with the needs of tourism professionals. The new website thus embodies a more contemporary platform, true to RestoGroupes’ values: a warm welcome, a friendly atmosphere and a close relationship with group travel organisers.
A new website to support group organisers
With this new version of its website, RestoGroupes has a clear aim: to make it easier to organise meals and stays for groups.
smoother navigation, better-organised information and a modernised visual identity all contribute to a more enjoyable and efficient experience.
This development also reflects the network’s commitment to staying close to its users and continuing to promote the hospitality offered by independent hotels and restaurants that have signed up to the RestoGroupes charter.
