The Family Golf Hotel, built at the end of the year 1893 on request of the widow Pinson, provided meals for hotel guests as well as ordinary customers, cosy family ensuites and comfortable hotel rooms at competitive prices. The hotel's excellent location on the Boulevard Garnier made it a serious rival for the Grand Hotel du Parc.

A few years later the dynamic monsieur Verdaguet enlarged the hotel's market share by offering meals for groups. Thus he could welcome in 1910 the Syndicate of hotel owners (for whom the hotel was "illuminated and decorated with flags, adorned with greenery and superb flowers"). The following year he was proud to host the banquet for the section of Royan of the National federation of employees and of the Harmonie. In 1912 he organised the yearly banquet of the staff of the préfecture and the sous-préfectures of Charente-Inférieure (now known as Charente Maritime). In 1913 the Family Golf Hotel is the heart of various festivities such as a dinner for the Gironde pilots cooperation and the general assembly of post office workers.
