where’s the best hotel, downtown, to throw a party within the suites for reasonable prices?

A lot of hotels have suites available, but I don’t think they rent them out with the idea of 30 people partying in them in mind. With a party of that size, they’d probably make you rent a conference room or ball room something. They’d probably be afraid that 30 people partying in two adjoining suites would disturb their other guests on the floor. You can try, but don’t be surprised if they turn you down. Your best bet at pulling this off is to just rent the rooms and sneak everyone up there, if that’s possible with 30 people.

You may end up renting an entire floor of a hotel, as it’s really difficult for hotels to have a party for 30 people on a floor where they’re going to have other guests sleeping…but this time of the year (between New Years and Valentine’s Day) is extremely slow for hotels, so it may not be as expensive as it sounds. You may be able to rent half a floor and they just won’t sell the other rooms unless they have to. There are some suites that would accomodate 30 people, but I’ve only seen them in private hotels where you have to be a member to rent a room…in the hotel where I work it would be a fire hazard and you would have to rent the floor.
Check out the Palmer House Hilton and the Hilton on south Michigan. There’s also the Hyatt Regency just south of the River, a new Hampton Inn on west Monroe. And I think you could look into the Crown Plaza on south Wabash, which would be a little less expensive. Either way I would call the hotel and ask the front desk agent who to speak to about a block of rooms and go from there.
