This beautiful space has been around since 1906 and in its over 100-year history, has seen many legendary performers grace its halls, from jazz greats to punk pioneers. The Grand Ballroom is truly an iconic New York landmark, with a classic Art Deco design that encompasses elegance and grandeur. It has become a favorite spot for hosting high-profile events such as award shows and concerts, due to its perfect size to accommodate mid-sized crowds without ever feeling crowded. The atmosphere of this unique musical space allows guests to make lasting memories every time they step foot inside the hallowed walls of The Grand Ballroom.

The Manhattan Center is a building in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. Built-in 1906 and located at 311 West 34th Street, it houses Manhattan Center Studios, its Grand Ballroom, and the Hammerstein Ballroom, one of New York City's most renowned performance venues. The capacity of the ballroom is dependent on the configuration of the room; it seats 2,500 people for theatrical productions and musical performances, and several thousand for events held within a central ring.

Manhattan Center combines a magnificent, century-old former opera house with fully-integrated 21st-century media and entertainment production technology. Recently restored, our Hammerstein Ballroom features a hand-painted ceiling, ornate woodwork, and three balconies with opera boxes. Soaring 75 feet above the main floor, the ceiling holds numerous rigging points suitable for production lighting, sound, or set design. Integration with the in-house audio recording studios, television studios, video control rooms, and post-production suites makes the space an incredible venue for productions, special events, live or taped broadcasts, and webcasts or radio broadcasts. Production possibilities in this highly flexible event space are virtual.
