Some celebrations call for a big room, a long guest list and a dance floor that fills up early. Others simply need everyone under one roof for the weekend. In North Bay, this hotel on Lakeshore Drive is built for both.
The property sits directly across from Lake Nipissing and describes itself as the largest meeting and convention hotel in the city, as well as the only full-service hotel on Lakeshore Drive.
The largest space is the Regency Ballroom, a 3,480-square-foot room with a large dance floor that is used for large receptions and comes with the Regency Foyer when receptions are held. It can be set for up to approximately 260 guests banquet style, or 350 theatre style.
The Ontario Ballroom offers another option for receptions and events, with room for up to approximately 220 guests banquet style. It can also be divided in two, with Ontario Room A seating around 60 and Ontario Room BC seating around 150 banquet style.
Smaller rooms round out the conference centre, including the Lakeshore Room and the Champlain rooms, which suit more intimate dinners, hospitality rooms and gatherings for the days around the wedding. The hotel's events professionals help couples choose the right room and set up for their guest count.
Then there is the hotel itself. Guests can stay on site, swim in what the hotel calls the largest indoor heated hotel pool, unwind at the spa, or meet for a drink at the Fab Lounge and a meal at Farina Ristorante. Pet-friendly rooms mean even the four-legged members of the family can come along.
Family can arrive early, settle in across from the lake and spend the whole weekend close together, from the welcome drinks to the last dance.
For couples who picture a classic North Bay reception with a generous dance floor, a choice of ballrooms and everyone staying a few steps away, Best Western North Bay Hotel & Conference Centre offers a celebration with room for the whole crowd.
