nd made all of our guests feel welcome. Our guests raved about the accommodations, access to restaurants and great location to visit places in the city. It was fun to visit with friends between wedding events at the multiple bars in the hotel.
We hosted a Friday night welcome party on the second floor and Sunday family brunch at the beautiful rooftop bar. Both were great locations to mingle both inside and outside-with great service.
Hotel Celare greatly exceeded our expectations-I highly recommend for weddings or other special events.

l at this hotel! Every inch of the space feels curated and well thought out. The food displays were beautiful, and I haven't stopped thinking about the desserts. I've been back a few times since and I always find something new and unique to discover. Be sure to check out their rooftop bar, The Vick, great view and even better cocktails- and huge plus, the exterior over-head heaters keep you warm which is AMAZING!

and their staff. Our guests were so well taken care of for the entire weekend and they even ensured everyone received their gift bags at the time of check-in! The valet team is super helpful and the dining options allow for something for everyone!
We hosted our after wedding breakfast in The Vick, their rooftop bar. Everyone got to enjoy the spectacular views of campus, delicious mimosas, and the beautiful buffet before heading home!
Thank you, Hotel Celare, for being a part of our wedding!
