When you’re ready to wind down, your private room will prove otherworldly for you and your flame.

You don’t have to be lonely out in space like the “rocket man!” The Apollo 8 meeting space at The Moonrise Hotel provides room for small and mid-sized dinners, receptions, and business meetings.

“Bad Moon Rising,” Creedence Clearwater Revival
While CCR’s vintage hit Bad Moon Rising may technically be about the dreadful circumstances that a “bad moon” can cause, we understand that all the risk takers out there are willing to test their limits. If you love CCR as much as we do, you will not be deterred from space missions when this song begins to play.
“Bark at the Moon,” Ozzy Osbourne
