About
Hope College is located adjacent to downtown Holland, Michigan and you can quickly and conveniently walk to discover 120 unique shops and restaurants nearby. Sandy beaches, beautiful parks on Lake Michigan, and other local attractions are nearby, as well, ensuring there is no shortage of scenic areas for guests to explore.
The college campus, which includes the Haworth Hotel and Conference Center, sits on over 125 acres of beautifully maintained grounds which include dedicated green spaces, a stand-alone art museum, premier athletic facilities, housing for over 2,000 students, and a range of historic and contemporary architecture housing academic programs across the campus.
A $7.5 million renovation of the Haworth Hotel and Conference Center, designed by the renowned Italy-based designer, Patricia Urquiola, unveiled an essentially new hotel in 2021. The college also built a Music Building (2015) that includes an 800-seat auditorium and a Student Center (2017). Not to be overlooked is our gorgeous 1,000-seat Gothic-inspired church and a historic academic building with additional meeting space.
The Haworth Hotel and Conference Center features over 10,000 square feet of meeting space, complemented by award-winning catering. You can host everything from small meetings to a cash bar reception. Plus, since it is located on the Hope College campus, your event can easily expand into other venues.
The Hope College Events and Conferences Office (ECO) assists planners in crafting the best possible event. We boast an experienced team of conference and event managers, technical support, and, generally, pretty nice people.
