With its unique vibe, decadent interiors and rich history dating back to the New York City of the late 1890s, The Empire Hotel is an event space steeped in authentic local flair. From our Crystal Ballroom to our Rooftop event space with spectacular skyline views, we are a signature address for celebrations, meetings, weddings and other milestone occasions. The Hotel's setting, just one block from Central Park and across the street from Lincoln Center, offers a less-congested alternative to midtown event spaces.
