Catering is contracted separately through our preferred catering partners, and our team handles bar service. For smaller meetings, our guest-floor Dens seat up to 12 for workshops, interviews, and working sessions. With 31 guestrooms just downstairs, an event easily becomes a full stay. Private floor buyouts include 9 guestrooms plus a shared kitchen, lounge, dining area, and gathering space, a comfortable home base for wedding parties, touring crews, and corporate teams. Pairing your event with a room block can also bring savings on the venue rental. Reach out for pricing or a tour, and let's plan something memorable.
