A pool deck, a sun deck and two terraces are available for outdoor events. For larger functions, there’s 6,000 square feet of meeting space in historic Hibernian Hall next door. With its No Excuses Meetings Guarantee, the hotel promises to adjust a meeting’s bill if the hotel does not meet contract requirements.
