Hotel Perry hosts corporate meetings for groups of 2 to 200, wedding ceremonies and receptions for up to 250 guests in summer, rehearsal dinners and holiday events, with guest rooms and suites for attendees. The hotel was established in 1899 and is the only hotel in downtown Petoskey, Michigan, in the Gaslight District overlooking Little Traverse Bay.
Seminars and company events
The meetings team works with groups from a two-person interview to a 200-person conference. The hotel has meeting rooms, boardrooms and breakout areas, and sets them in classroom, theater, banquet, boardroom or U-shape layouts, or a custom plan. The Reycraft Room is the smaller, more intimate space, while the Veranda opens up to wide views. An on-site event coordinator is included for planning and on the day itself. Audiovisual equipment, from screens and projectors to microphones and sound, is supplied through the partner OAV. Group room blocks are offered at a reduced rate, depending on availability and the number of rooms reserved.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are a large part of the hotel's calendar. Ceremonies can be held indoors or outdoors, and the ceremony and reception can stay in the same space. The hotel also handles elopement packages, proposals, rehearsal dinners and the brunch after the wedding. A venue coordinator works with the couple and their vendors, and getting-ready suites are available on the day. Menu tastings are included.
Rooms and capacities
The Rose Garden Veranda is an outdoor space for up to 250 guests, used from June through September, with a permanent conservatory, gardens and views over the bay. Tent decor, lighting and linen upgrades can be added. The H.O. Rose Room is the main indoor room, taking up to 200 guests with bay views. In May and October the hotel offers a combined format: ceremony and cocktail hour on the veranda, then dinner and dancing in the H.O. Rose Room, for up to 200.
Accommodation
Rooms range from Classic and Heritage rooms to Lake View rooms with balconies, two-room suites and a three-bedroom Lake View House that sleeps eight. That mix covers a speaker who needs a quiet room as well as a wedding party that wants to stay together.
Catering
Catering is in-house: breakfast buffets, plated dinners, buffets, stations, hors d'oeuvres, dessert stations and late-night snacks. Bar service runs from beer and wine to a full bar and signature cocktails.
Getting there
The hotel is at 100 Lewis Street, Petoskey, Michigan 49770, with on-site parking and complimentary motorcoach parking for groups. Pellston Regional Airport is the nearest airport, about a 25-minute drive north, and Traverse City is the larger regional airport to the southwest.
