This Calls for a Celebration
Nothing brings people together like good food and a good old-fashioned party. Planning on hosting any time soon? Get inspired by these unique venues across Independent Collection Hotels & Resorts.
The Morrow Hotel
Good for: Rooftop celebrations, fancy dinners, bridal showers, office outings, corporate meetings
Sunny, sleek, and oh-so chic, The Morrow Hotel is a delightful newcomer to Washington, D.C.’s NoMa neighborhood. From the luminous lobby lounge to the elegant Burnham Suite, this design-forward hotel has no shortage of stunning event space. Celebrate in style at the Armature Ballroom, or toast to new beginnings from Rooftop at The Morrow, a vibrant open-air rooftop with indoor-outdoor seating, cozy fire pits, and jaw-dropping views of D.C.’s skyline. For more buttoned-up occasions, the hotel’s breakout rooms make lovely backdrops for work or play.
Best of all, an expert culinary team is standing by to craft personalized menus for every occasion, from breakfast meetings and author meet-and-greets, to elaborate wedding celebrations under the stars.
The Whitney Hotel
Good for: Family brunch, rehearsal dinners, baby showers
When you picture Boston – those narrow colonial streets and famous red-brick buildings – you’re probably thinking of Beacon Hill. This enchanting neighborhood is one of the oldest in Boston, rich with history and a growing number of shops, cafes, antique stores, and other interesting finds.
At The Whitney Hotel, Beacon Hill’s old-world charm is blended with sleek new style at Peregrine, the hotel’s Mediterranean restaurant. Across the dining room and outdoor verandas, modern furniture juxtaposes vintage art, while traditional Italian dishes get an innovative twist. Together they make a warm, welcoming space perfect for hosting family and celebrating with friends, old and new.
Aliz Hotel Times Square
Good for: Work happy hours, engagement parties, bachelor & bachelorette groups
Panoramic views, creative cocktails, vintage decor, James Bond motifs…what more could you want from a rooftop lounge? Towering above Midtown Manhattan, Dear Irving on Hudson is one of the highest hangout spots in New York City, and definitely one of the swankiest. This retro penthouse takes over the 40th and 41st floors of Aliz Hotel Times Square, with four distinct rooms to host 300 of your nearest and dearest. Dear Irving’s menu is nearly just as big, with loads of bar snacks and seasonal drinks to keep them satisfied.
The Plaza Hotel Pioneer Park
Good for: Destination weddings, bachelor parties
Have you ever been to a penthouse wedding with views of two different countries? For the unconventional brides and grooms, The Plaza Hotel Pioneer Park is a unique destination wedding choice. Bring your Pinterest board to life in one of the hotel’s Art Deco ballrooms, or toast to adventures ahead from La Perla’s posh rooftop terrace – the highest open-air rooftop in El Paso – and watch the sunset over New Mexico, Texas, and Mexico all at once.
Downstairs at Ámbar Restaurante, the interior design is just as impressive. Reclaimed stained glass, original wood beams, and ornate chandeliers frame a glowing, cathedral-like space centered around a 40-foot-tall agave wall stacked with over 800 tequilas, mezcals, and agave spirits – the largest agave spirits collection in North America! Even better, the hotel will introduce The Agave Room this year, an ultra-VIP dining room complete with Ámbar tasting menus and rare agave pairings. If that doesn’t start the party, we don’t know what will…
