Event planning tips and vendor notes
Confirm the exact measurements, floor, and access for the room you plan to use — the Grand Ballroom and its Grand Foyer are on the fourth floor and are reached by lobby escalators. Ask the events team about load-in times and elevator access for larger décor or staging.
Because the property is an operating downtown hotel, coordinate vendor arrival times and guest-room blocks early. If you plan a proposal or intimate moment in a public area, check with the hotel about privacy or reserved seating to avoid interruptions.
- Ask events for room dimensions and staging routes (Grand Ballroom is 92x196x20 ft)
- Reserve a guest-room block early if you expect out-of-town attendees
- Confirm catering dietary options (vegan/vegetarian menus are available)
