The hotel is the perfect location for intimate weddings, social gatherings, and conferences, boasting 41,000 square feet of meeting space and the largest pillar-free hotel ballroom in Oregon at 18,000 square feet. Floor-to-ceiling windows grace each of the large event spaces providing stunning views and tranquil natural light.

Originally built in 1978 where the iconic Jantzen Beach Amusement Park was previously located, the landmark location has a strong connection with the community. Jantzen Beach Amusement Park was a popular amusement park from 1928 to 1970 and at the time, was the largest in the nation. The hotel pays homage to the area's history through its midcentury modern décor and features large historical photographs of the former amusement park.
