BALLROOM HALLWAY
FROM THE CRYSTAL CHANDELIERS CROWNING EACH ARCHED DOORWAY TO THE INCREDIBLE MOSAIC TILE ENTRYWAY LEADING INTO THE BALLROOM AND DUAL WINGING BALCONY STAIRCASES, THE ARCHITECTURE SPEAKS TO THE CHARM THAT THE BUILDERS OF THIS HISTORIC 1867 BUILDING HAD IN THEIR VISION.

COURTYARD
THIS COZY SPACE, TUCKED BETWEEN OUR TWO BUILDINGS, PROUDLY BOASTS THE SAME HISTORIC BRICK THAT LINED THE STREETS OF OLD MICHIGAN CITY. FROM BEAUTIFIULLY STRUNG EDISON LIGHTS, TO FLICKERING, AMBIENT LIGHTING, THIS SPACE OFFERS THE PERFECT BACKDROP FOR "FIRST LOOKS" AS WELL AS PROVIDING A LITTLE RESPITE FROM THE PARTY ATMOSPHERE OF A CONCERT OR PUBLIC EVENT.
BAR/LOUNGE
MIRRORING THE DOMED BALLROOM CEILING, THE LOUNGE BOASTS A GORGEOUS HALF-CIRCLE BAR WITH AMBIENCE THAT RESULTS IN A HIGH-END SPEAKEASY VIBE.
A BIT REMOVED FROM THE FESTIVITY IN THE BALLROOM, THE LOUNGE PROVIDES A MORE INTIMATE SPACE IN WHICH OUR MIXOLOGISTS WILL CRAFT THE PERFECT COCKTAIL OR MOCKTAIL, ALL THE WHILE PROVIDING A PLACE FOR YOU TO RELAX AND SIP WHILE STILL ENJOYING A REMOTE TV VIEW OF THE GOINGS ON IN THE BALLROOM.

THE MAIN SUITE HAS AN EN SUITE BATHROOM WITH A SHOWER, A CLASSIC WOODEN BAR IN THE CORNER READY FOR MIMOSAS & TREATS, AND A CONVENIENT COFFEE/TEA STATION.
