We are proud to celebrate the grand opening of the Monarch Ballroom at Saint John’s Resort, a milestone that represents far more than the completion of a single space.

The Monarch Ballroom marks the culmination of a more than $50 million, three-year transformation, repositioning Saint John’s Resort as one of the premier luxury destinations in the Midwest for weddings, corporate events, and group experiences.



A Defining Moment in a Landmark Transformation

The opening of the Monarch Ballroom signifies the realization of a bold vision: to elevate Saint John’s into a fully realized destination resort that seamlessly serves leisure, social, and business travelers at the highest level.


Designed to host large-scale celebrations and sophisticated corporate gatherings alike, the ballroom reflects a commitment to:

  • Thoughtful, experience-led design

  • Architectural presence and sense of arrival

  • Flexibility without compromise

  • Seamless integration with the broader resort experience


It is a space built not only to host events, but to create moments guests remember.


Collaboration at the Highest Level

Transformations of this scale are only possible through deep collaboration and shared standards of excellence. Boutique Hotel Professionals was honored to be part of this journey, working alongside an extraordinary group of partners who brought vision, creativity, and discipline to every phase of the project.


We extend our appreciation to:

  • The Pulte Family Charitable Foundation

  • Francis Resendes, Resendes Design Group (Architect)

  • Jeffrey Strasser Interior Design

  • Meadowbrook Landscaping

  • And the dedicated leadership and on-property team at Saint John’s Resort


Each played a critical role in shaping a space—and a property—that now stands among the region’s most compelling luxury destinations.


A New Chapter for Saint John’s Resort

With the opening of the Monarch Ballroom, Saint John’s Resort enters its next chapter with renewed clarity and confidence. The property now offers a cohesive, elevated experience that aligns architecture, interiors, landscape, and service into a single, intentional vision.


For Boutique Hotel Professionals, it has been a privilege to support Saint John’s Resort during this transformative period. Seeing the Monarch Ballroom open its doors is a powerful reminder of what is possible when leadership, design, and execution are aligned.


We congratulate the entire Saint John’s Resort team on this remarkable achievement and look forward to watching the resort continue to set new standards for luxury hospitality in the Midwest.
