Potawatomi Hotel & Casino

19-story Glass Tower Hotel boosts unique design

The Potawatomi Community recognized that adding a hotel to their casino property was key to transforming it into a true regional destination resort. To maximize future development opportunities the hotel is constructed on their adjacent property. The new 19-story, 350,000-SF casino hotel features 381 hotel rooms, 15,000-SF of meeting space to support the recently renovated 32,000-SF Expo Center. The hotel’s lobby gives the feel of walking through a modern, stylized forest that features energy-efficient, color-kinetic light fixtures along the edges of custom “tree” columns and within the “leafy canopy” ceiling features.
