Winner of numerous awards for architectural excellence, the Ballroom boasts 26 foot ceilings, marbleized columns, and a terrazzo dance floor. Complemented by permanent bars on the main floor and balcony, a performance stage, theatrical lighting and customized sound system, the Ballroom is the perfect venue for any event.
