Gerald R. and Betty Ford Presidential Ballroom

Gerald R. and Betty Ford Presidential Ballroom

The magnificent domed ceiling of the Gerald R. and Betty Ford Presidential Ballroom has, together with the Georgian columns, Oval Office-inspired carpet and gold valances that adorn virtually every window of this beautiful, historic room, witnessed many memorable meetings and conventions over the years. With enough room for up to 225 guests to stand comfortably, there’s really no place else – other than the actual Oval Office itself – that can lend this kind of feeling to your next meeting or event.

A variety of additional, elegantly appointed function rooms are also available for use throughout the hotel. Please consult with a Sales Manager for further information.

To make an appointment to view our ballrooms and reception facilities, call 616.776.6400.
