Downtown Rapid City’s New Destination Hotel Serves As Perfect Choice For Events

From cocktail receptions and intimate meetings to galas and – of course – weddings – downtown Rapid City’s newest development is proving an ideal fit for a broad range of events.

The Hyatt Place Rapid City / Downtown hotel at Block5 offers more than 5,000 square feet of flexible meeting space.

“Our ballroom comfortably accommodates banquet events of up to around 250 guests, but it can also be divided into smaller sections for breakouts or more intimate gatherings,” director of sales Jessica Kramer said.
“The adjoining pre-function space has been phenomenal for cocktail receptions, hors d’oeuvres, vendor displays, and networking — with natural downtown light that creates a welcoming atmosphere.”

The versatility of the space paired with the global reputation of Hyatt’s brand ensure consistency and service combined with a one-of-a-kind downtown location.
“We are currently the only Hyatt in the region, and with an experienced sales team to detail every type of events – from board meetings and multi-day trainings to weddings and other celebrations – we’re able to deliver both the trusted Hyatt experience and a local touch that reflects Rapid City,” Kramer said.

As the community begins to attend events at the new, modern Hyatt Place, we’ve received a lot of positive feedback not only on the functionality of our meeting space but also on the attention to detail that went into its design,” Kramer said.
“From the meeting rooms to the common areas, our team and designers were intentional about tying in elements that honor the surrounding Black Hills. Guests have noticed those touches, and it’s been rewarding to see how much they resonate with the community.”

There’s availability for weekend weddings and social events through 2026, along with mid-week meetings, smaller gatherings, and off-season dates, Kramer said.
“Since opening, interest has been steady, and we’re now seeing bookings extend into 2028,” she said.

“Popular weekends and major city events are securing early commitments, so we encourage planners to reach out as early as
possible, especially if they have specific timing in mind.”
