DIRECTOR OF CATERING LONDON WALLIN

The versatile venue for private dinners, milestone events, and business gatherings created a guest-facing and tangible opportunity to re-engage the community and build up excitement and momentum, while laying the

foundation for the new hotel name and experience. Its name, The Catlin, is inspired by local geology.

Catlinite stone, known for its use in sacred ceremonies to promote an understanding of peace and unity among some Native American tribes, is a rare and soft stone found in only a few locations throughout the world. This stone is hand-harvested by Native Americans only for use in trade, as well as pipe-making traditionally for more than 2,000 years, describes Bauman. “A sister stone to the quartzite that runs beneath Sioux Falls, catlinite is part of the literal bedrock of our community,” said Bauman. “It is a reminder of our strength and our beauty, and it sets us apart from nearly every other place on Earth. It is a symbol of kindness and generosity. Sophistication and serenity.” MADDY BAUMAN “The Catlin, like its namesake, is unique to our region. Bold and imaginative, welcoming and tranquil.”
