Saint John's Resort spans 200 acres and offers 118 luxurious hotel rooms and nearly 100,000 square feet of meeting space. It features three dining and entertainment venues : the upscale FIVE Steakhouse, The Wine Grotto, and Doyles Irish Pub. Originating in the late 1940s, the resort has evolved from a seminary to a retreat center, and subsequently to a conference center and hotel. Under the stewardship of the Pulte Family Charitable Foundation, the property is currently undergoing a multi-million-dollar renovation. This project has already introduced The Wine Grotto, The Garden Pavilion event space, Doyles Irish Pub, and The Cardinal, an 18-hole championship golf course, along with The Little Cardinal, a seven-hole par-3 short course, and The Cardinal Putting Course. Additionally, a new 50,000-square-foot event space is set to open in Spring 2025.
