/ setting

Setting and surroundings

The property at 35 Scudder Avenue in Hyannis has operated under successive brands as the Cape Cod Irish Village family-of-businesses complex evolved into a full conference resort. Marketed for years as the Resort and Conference Center at Hyannis, the property today operates as the Emerald Resort and Conference Center; the conference-and-events brand is Hyport Conference Center. Cape Cod Irish Village, the property''s long-running restaurant and bar concept with live music programming, remains active on-site under owner Thomas MacCormick. The Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce describes the venue as in its "fourth decade under local ownership." Cvent records a 2022 renovation pass; the Hyport rebrand reflects a positioning refresh tied to the recent ownership cycle.

The 2,728-square-foot Grand Ballroom Foyer adds pre-function space for registration and breaks. Bass River, the second-largest single space at 6,294 square feet, supports 400 banquet, 500 theater, and 300 classroom.
