Alt Hotel Saskatoon hosts meetings, trainings, receptions and weddings for up to 170 guests, across six rooms that add up to 4,500 square feet of event space. The hotel belongs to Germain Hotels and stands in downtown Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, by River Landing and the South Saskatchewan River.
Seminars and company events
Four meeting rooms on the second floor are lit by daylight. Indigo is the largest and takes 30 to 170 people, Cyan 18 to 60, Lime 16 to 30 and Orange up to 12. The Violet Creative Lounge seats 10 for brainstorming or a small working session. Because the rooms sit on the same floor, a training day can run a plenary in Indigo and send groups to Cyan, Lime and Orange for workshops without moving across the building. The hotel offers meeting packages and banquet menus, and the event team can combine the rooms with bedrooms for participants who travel in from other cities.
Weddings and receptions
The event spaces take up to 120 guests for a seated dinner or a reception, and the hotel offers a wedding package. Catering for weddings draws on the locally inspired cooking of Bokeh on the Plaza, the hotel's lounge. Bokeh itself, reached from the lobby, holds 54 guests for a cocktail hour, a rehearsal dinner or an after-party.
Rooms and capacities
Indigo: 30 to 170 guests. Cyan: 18 to 60. Lime: 16 to 30. Bokeh: 54. Orange: 12. Violet Creative Lounge: 10. Total event space: 4,500 square feet. Capacities vary with the layout chosen, so the exact number for each setup should be confirmed with the hotel.
Accommodation
Bedrooms include king rooms with a work area, river-view king rooms looking over the Meewasin Trail and River Landing, rooms with two queen beds for two to four people, and queen rooms with a sofa bed. Out-of-town participants and wedding guests can stay in the same building as the event.
Catering
Catering is handled by the hotel, with banquet menus and meeting packages for day events. Bokeh on the Plaza serves breakfast and a menu built on local ingredients and sharing boards, and it works as an informal meeting point after sessions.
History and setting
The hotel faces the Remai Modern art museum, about 35 m away, and the Persephone Theatre, about 95 m away, in the River Landing area. The Meewasin Trail runs along the river right outside, which gives participants a place to walk during breaks. The design follows the Alt brand, with modern, bright rooms.
Getting there
The hotel is in downtown Saskatoon, within walking distance of the central business district and the riverbank. Saskatoon John G. Diefenbaker International Airport is a short drive away.
