Some meeting venues are just enormous rooms with tables and chairs. Others, like the Hotel Northland in downtown Green Bay, bring a whole lot extra.
The Hotel Northland was built in 1924 and was the largest hotel in Wisconsin. Eventually, it transitioned into a senior residence until 2016, when construction began to renovate and reopen this historic gem. You can really tell that a lot of thought and local pride went into the restoration, and it’s this level of care that makes it feel more like a destination than a venue.
For event planners who are looking to create something memorable, this should be at the top of their list. It is one of the most charming places you’ll find in the Green Bay area!
Space to Gather and Room to Play
Let’s talk event spaces. The Hotel Northland offers more than 13,000 square feet of flexible event space, including The Crystal Ballroom, which is the obvious showstopper. This room can accommodate up to 230 guests and has gorgeous high ceilings, warm wood accents, and vintage chandeliers. It somehow manages to feel both grand AND welcoming.
If you’re planning something a little more low-key, like a board meeting or breakout sessions, the hotel’s executive boardrooms are going to fit the bill perfectly. These rooms have plenty of natural light and just enough character to feel elevated without being distracting.
Perhaps one of the most exciting spaces they offer is The Alley. This fun and unique space can accommodate up to 150 people and contains two functional bowling lanes, a shuffleboard table, a billiards table, a full bar, and an arrangement of soft seating.
In all, the Hotel Northland has 13 gorgeous event spaces, each equipped with modern A/V capabilities. You can explore the layout options here on their meetings page, but a site tour is also a great idea if you can make it happen.
Get Some Help with the Planning
Planning an event is… a lot. The good news? The team at Hotel Northland knows that and is standing by, ready to help. Their on-site events team will help guide everything from room layouts to catering decisions. You can request tailored packages for different event types, including corporate events, seminars, or whatever else you are planning. And of course, they will coordinate all of the equipment and services you need to make your event a home run.
Your Guests Can Stay Right on Site
Unlike some meeting spaces, the Hotel Northland can accommodate guests overnight, so they don’t even have to leave the venue. The hotel has over 160 guest rooms, and they’re just as stylish and welcoming as the event spaces!
The Hotel Northland is part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection, which means it’s part of a “global collection of distinctive independent hotels carefully crafted to leave a lasting imprint.” All of the rooms come with two bottles of water, bathrobes, a mini-refrigerator, Cuisinart coffee makers, a hair dryer, and a safe.
They are happy to offer group blocks if you’re planning a multi-day conference or retreat. That way, attendees can check in, take the elevator down to your event, and at the end of the day, be back upstairs in just minutes… without breaking the bank.
Conveniently Located in the Heart of it All
The Hotel Northland is located right in the heart of downtown Green Bay, which means you’re within walking distance from some really great coffee shops, restaurants, breweries, and some of the city's most scenic places, like the CityDeck along the Fox River.
It’s also very close to the impressive KI Convention Center, in case your event spans multiple locations or you want to offer your group a bigger footprint.
