That time of the year is here yet again — that time when you celebrate your valentines, galentines, and palentines. Sometimes, it’s just too difficult to keep track of all the loves in your lives, but to ease the burden of curating the perfect charcuterie board or finding the perfect romantic setting to toast to Cupid, Hu Hotel is hosting a Lovers and Friends Party.
“The whole purpose of it is just to have a fun party and give people a reason to dress up,” says Faith Pool, Hu’s director of lifestyle and the mastermind behind this event. Guests are encouraged to don their best in shades of red, pink, and black to add to the rosy atmosphere on the rooftop, where the views of the Mississippi and the Mighty Lights show are stunning.
To start off the night, Hu is hosting a special speed-dating round, and who knows, you might just find the love of your life. Sign up at Hu’s Instagram, Pool says.
The rest of the night will be complete with dancing to music by DJ Babo while guests munch on small bites and sip on cocktails from the hotel’s rooftop bar. The cover fee upon entry is $20.
Lovers and Friends Party, Hu Hotel, 79 Madison, Friday, February 11th, 8 p.m.-1 a.m., $20.
