The Commons Hotel Minneapolis Announces Angie Combes As Director Of Catering And Conference Services

“The Commons Hotel is thrilled to have such a tenacious and creative catering and conference manager on the team,” said Duane Rohrbaugh, general manager at The Commons Hotel. “Her experience and passion for creating the perfect event ensures success in any operation.”

With 15 years of extensive experience planning events of all sizes, Combes is apt to take on this role at The Commons Hotel. In her previous role as the Director of Catering and Special Events at CRAVE Catering, Combes was responsible for doubling revenue to $2 million while executing extravagant productions, including the Minnesota Monthly Best of Awards, Taste of NFL/Minnesota Vikings Football Club and the Minnesota Tile Grand Opening. As an active member of NACE, Combes is hands-on with planning and executing both large and small-scale events in all settings from hotels and conference centers to off-site locations.

“My passion is to create memorable experiences for my clients,” says Combes. “The Commons Hotel lends itself as the premier venue in Minneapolis, offering a whimsical twist to every occasion.”

The recently unveiled Commons Hotel embodies a sense of inner geek in a chic industrial schoolhouse setting, embracing diversity through the common desire to discover, with an uncommon experience. Explorers satisfy the whims of their inner geek with a Book Butler, alchemist mixology lessons, the lobby’s library lounge and Sudoku sleep-ins plus destination diversions curated to enlighten mind and soul.

Boasting 20,000 square feet of meeting and event space, made up of 14 individual indoor and outdoor meeting rooms, The Commons Hotel is the ideal location for a small executive retreat or an extravagant yet intimate affair. Inventive meetings amenities encourage the inner geek in even the most serious of executives, with themed geek chic wings, Jenga and spelling bee breaks, secrets of industry lectures, smarties and smart water on meeting tables and the Mad Scientist Break that will engage groups with “experimental” treats.
