Listening to our corporate clients
Smile and service are important standards at the Hôtel du Centre, but not only. The establishment also makes it a point of honour to be thoughtful with each of its customers, both leisure and business travellers, professionals who are accustomed as well as intermittent tourists. It is today, to some of its corporate customers, that the business hotel of Noumea has chosen to leave the floor... and it warmly thanks them for their involvement.
AG2R La Mondiale
The AG2R La Mondiale group, a specialist in social protection and legacy, has many Certified Advisors in its New-Caledonian teams. Among them, Amanda Pitault, Aude Landry, Franck Chaintreau and Raoul Bonavero are telling us more.
"We meet at the Hôtel du Centre for work meetings or training at the Business Center, but also at the two restaurants: Les Jardins between co-workers or La Pergola, more occasionally, for a lunch with a client. Some colleagues in the North of the island also sleep at the hotel when they have to go to head office in Noumea."

Groupama Pacifique – Gan Outre-Mer
Reference Companies in the three French territories in the South Pacific, the mutual insurance Company Groupama Pacifique and the Company Gan Outre-Mer are represented by Jean-Baptiste Desprez, General Manager. He gives us his impressions.
"The location of the Hôtel du Centre is strategic since it’s close to our corporate premises. We use the Business Center which offers multiple possibilities of room sizes adapted to our needs. The catering is also a positive added point: we often book in La Pergola when we have guests, for its pleasant setting and the quality of the dishes presented."
- In a nutshell: a wide range of services and a warm welcome from smiling and reactive teams.
- Strengths: always fast handling of our requests, with dedicated and attentive contacts.

"We mainly ask the Hôtel du Centre for accommodation and catering. Its proximity to our office is somewhat appreciable, both for our employees and for our visitors in training.

- In a nutshell: excellent sales contact, excellent advice, and excellent billing follow-up!
- Strengths: location, team availability, the customers are the centre of attention.

Maison de la Sécurité
In the field of the supply of personal protective equipment, we met the Maison de la Sécurité (Security House), of which Marie Lauroz is Manager. She confides to us, surrounded by her entire team.
"The Hôtel du Centre is the place where we know that we will be pampered and well received as soon as we pass through the door. It’s true that the Maison de la Sécurité also equips the maids and a part of the kitchen of the hotel ever since the beginning. We are reassured to know that there is a competent "business / hotel" division nearby, which will be able to manage our professional expectations and find solutions if there are problems."
- In a nutshell: accessibility, practicality, consistency and quality of service!
- Strengths: the setting, the fitness room with its individual coach, the feeling of being out of Ducos once inside the establishment...

A performer in the public works sector, the Company Dumez GTM in New Caledonia is historically present in the Caledonian Territory. Matthieu Gallet is the Environment, Safety, Quality Manager (ESQ) and he gives us some details.
"Our meetings and training sessions are the central element that leads us to regularly call on the Hôtel du Centre: the Business Center for their development, as well as Les Jardins and the hotel itself even for the catering and accommodation of participants and trainers. It’s precisely this global package that is a strength and feature for us."
