The Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel recently finished a $20 million renovation of its ballroom, meeting rooms, and pre-function space as part of the hotel's $185 million renovation. The Metropolitan Ballroom is the largest event space and holds as many as 2,500 guests for receptions and 1,600 for banquets. The redesign, from Wilson Associates, emphasizes natural light and warm colors and features a circular motif from the carpet to the light fixtures.
The New York Hilton Midtown, this year marking its 50th anniversary, boasts the city's largest grand ballroom. The hotel's Grand Ballroom Suite is 25,202 square feet and can seat 2,800 and fit 3,300 theater-style. The column-free space contains a stage with hydraulic lifts and is set to undergo a renovation next year.
