Welcome to Hope College Conference Services!

Hope College, a private liberal arts college, is conveniently located in downtown Holland, Michigan, a walkable city with all its shopping, dining, and entertainment advantages right at your feet. Sandy beaches, beautiful parks, and our picturesque campus draw more than 11,000 annual summer conference guests to the college. The Lake Michigan shoreline resort area, Holland community and Hope College Conference Services offer exciting possibilities as you consider your next function.

The center of Hope College is the Pine Grove, around which the original buildings were constructed. Several well-maintained historic structures are still in use today. Expansion and beautification programs in recent decades have resulted in a first-rate campus to serve students and faculty, as well as those who come to Hope for conferences and other professional meetings.

Hope is just two blocks from downtown Holland, a community of 60,000 which each year hosts the celebrated Tulip Time festival. Well-kept city parks and residential areas create a special charm. In 1996 Holland was honored as an All-America city. What really sets Holland apart is the intense pride the people take in their town and in Hope College.

West Michigan is known for its natural beauty, and the lake Michigan shore with its beaches is a short drive from campus.

Holland is 170 miles from Chicago, 180 miles from Detroit and 25 miles from Grand Rapids, Michigan's second largest city. Holland is easily reached by interstate highway and the city is served by commercial bus lines and Amtrak. There are two commercial airports within a 45-minute drive of the campus, including the Gerald R. Ford International Airport.

You can rely on the full service Conference Services staff at Hope College to assist you in coordinating all the required elements: lodging, meetings, presentations, banquets and meals, and recreational activities. The staff can also assist in meeting the needs of the physically challenged.

We look forward to serving you!
