Hotel Millwright

The Merino Loft is an event space at Hotel Millwright, set within a restored historic weaving building in Amana, Iowa. Its industrial character comes through in exposed brick, original architectural details and tall windows that bring natural light into the room. With more than 7,000 square feet of flexible space, it can host weddings, receptions, corporate meetings, social events and private celebrations. The venue’s wedding information gives a seated capacity of 48 to 225 guests, with space to arrange the room around the occasion and the style of the gathering.

The loft is part of a collection of event spaces at the hotel. Smaller gatherings, rehearsal dinners and wedding brunches can be held in the Carding Studio, while the courtyard offers an outdoor setting for ceremonies. This makes it possible to bring several parts of a wedding or event together at one property. Hotel Millwright can also support organisers with food and drink options, event staff, room staging and audio-visual equipment. Tables, chairs, linens, tableware and selected decor pieces are available as part of its event offering.

The hotel’s guest rooms provide an on-site accommodation option for attendees, and the property can help coordinate group room reservations. Free on-site parking is available. With its historic setting, adaptable event rooms and hospitality facilities, The Merino Loft is suited to planners seeking a distinctive venue for a wedding celebration, business gathering or private occasion in the Amana Colonies.
