New York Event Facilities

Suitable for Any Occasion

The New York event facilities at The Palace comprise several versatile meeting spaces and event venues, including the historic Villard Mansion and a selection of executive breakout rooms. All of our event spaces are truly exceptional locations for meetings and special events in New York. 

Located on the second level of the Grand lobby, The Villard Ballroom is an oval-shaped, double ceiling room reminiscent of New York’s Gilded Age.  The Ballroom can accommodate up to 500 guests at a reception and 250 for a dinner.  Opposite the ballroom, the Reid Salon can accommodate up to 300 guests for a reception and 125 for dinner.  Using both the Villard Ballroom and the Reid Salon in conjunction with the upper lobby mezzanine affords the Hotel and its guests the flexibility to customize an event for up to 800 people.
