Gotham Hall

Beautiful space that we visited for a fancy watch show. Loved the ceiling. It was a good space for such events, the circular structure facilitated walking from vendor to vendor, to each of the watch makers and crossing over from one end to another. Never ending possibilities!

My friends and I spent all this money to purchase a ticket to attend a Halloween party at this venue. This venue had no decorations what so ever. You would think, you are pointlessly charging people a lot of money for a halloween party that there would be some great decorations. The ‘VIP’ tickets we purchased were extremely pointless and we were all very disappointed. The only good thing was the music and our togetherness. We will not be returning for any future holiday parties here but It was a beautiful venue.

Spectacular venue. I keep hearing people say this place hosts some of the best parties, weddings, and events. Now I know why.
The Romanesque style gives it an unforgettable tone. The backdrop looks regal. You can change the backdrop style to hide the columns or even play them up. When you come into the main room it feels like you stepped into another dimension.
I came here for the Style Fashion Week. The set-​up looks amazing. The large space allows people to move from one room to the next. In the foyer, you see people taking photo ops with models. Even though many people attended this fashion show, it never felt uncomfortable.
If I decide to plan an event in New York, I would highly recommend this place.

Lavish ballroom space. Ideal for engagement parties or small weddings. There’s a space upstairs for hors d’oeuvres and the space downstairs is for the reception.

I have been here for several work holiday parties. Very large space that is well kept. They have a good system for keeping the booze flowing from the central bar, and the food is good and plentiful. Finding the Bathrooms can be a bit of a hassle, however.

My husband and I had the pleasure of getting married at Gotham Hall on July 26, 2014. We knew Gotham was the correct venue for us the minute we walked through the front doors. The hall is exquisite and the Haer Building is also a classic hallmark of traditional New York, simply unforgettable with a one of a kind glass dome ceiling. With the white-​glove service, attention to detail, classic ambience, and award winning cuisine, we could not have asked for a more perfect day on our wedding! The chef also went to great lengths to make us a traditional Sri Lankan appetizer form scratch — just so we could include something from our heritage, and also served alcoholic cupcakes at the end of the night with dry ice! Allan Kurtz and the Gotham Hall crew were wonderful and a pleasure to work with — they went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding was everything that we asked for. Allan’s oversight of the many vendors and details and the kindness and attentiveness he showed to us throughout the entire planning process to the days even after the wedding, were just priceless. Our sincerest thank you to Allan and Gotham Hall for such a memorable and special wedding. We highly recommend Gotham Hall to anyone who is interested in having an wonderful wedding experience!

What a great experience I had singing at Gotham Hall last Thursday night! Thank you to the fantastic sound crew, Will and Aaron, and to the rest of the staff at this perfect venue. I hope to return.

We had our holiday party here and I just love this venue. We have had our party here a few years ago but I think we had to switch it up to have in NJ the last two years because we have a large number of employees in NJ. Anyway, I hope we always have our party at Gotham Hall. The food was really really good. They had their Korean Beef Tacos that were so scrumptious. I could have eaten those all night. Our party had three stations and all had different things to offer but everything I had was very tasty. The desserts were also delicious. The banana cream pie was perfectly balanced with fresh bananas and a perfectly sweetened whipped cream on top. It was so good, I had two. And the Christmas cookies were delicious. Oh and did I say there were French macaroons? Also delicious. I was a happy happy reveler. And the space itself is gorgeous. The service was excellent too. I’m not sure if the DJ was a house DJ but THEY were also really really great, playing a fun mix of old tunes, new tunes and just did a wonderful job. If I have one negative to say, it’s that the coffee was not hot. I’m still giving Gotham Hall five stars. The food was excellent and the venue was great. Please please please Fidelity Investments, let’s always have our holiday party at Gotham Hall and don’t ever have it at that nice hotel in NJ with boring, crummy food, ever again. Thank you!!!

Attended the Fed Cap Annual Gala last week. Venue is beautiful and service is impeccable. The evening was topped by the great contributions of the honorees Fed Cap recognized and more importantly the work and service Fed Cap provides the people of NYC.

I attended an event here and I love the look inside. The ceilings are high, theres a second floor balcony, and a circular floor plan. Theres alot of space so it didnt feel crowded at all. Might be nice for a wedding or a catered dinner.

This is the second event I attend to at this location. I love old buildings that are preserve for our use now. This is a huge beautiful space with really high ceilings. I heard it used to be a bank that now is used for private events.
It also has a balcony that over looks the whole space. This place is so large no matter how many people in attendance you never feel crowded which is great.

Great space with a fine décor. I went to a charity event here. The food and service was excellent.

Thanks to Unilocal’s Jia J. I know a little more trivia today! Never knew that Gotham Hall was converted to a party facility in 2002 after the Greenwich Savings Bank met its demise after deregulation in 1980.
Inside, plenty of reminders of being a glorious bank — tall cavernous ballroom /​main room in the center, several smaller rooms to either side and a duo of balcony rooms that overlook the main ballroom. Had an event here, and they had wonderful sweeping photos and a good projector — audio suffered a bit, but I can’t tell if that was just the speaker.
Food was so-​so. Appetizers all had cheese, so my fellow attendees that were vegan or couldn’t consume cow’s milk were all out of luck. Too salty beet salad, and a steak that was dry (not dry-​rubbed but just too well-​done was a gentler term). Service was okay — not overbearing but hovering in the background, plenty of waitstaff. Drink service was quick and simple, no long lines at all for the 100 attendees.
Overall a nice, if expensive, venue — great for all the weddings and other fancier ball events and NYE that comes through, but for the group of ~100 people, it still felt a bit too big to fill in. Better for larger events.

NYE: Decent music. Food was just average. Bar was satisfactory. Obviously, the service was concentrated on tips and coat check revenue, during the hectic evening. However, one instance made my group’s night memorable, resulting in a successful new year’s celebration.

Just had my companies holiday party here and realized I’d also been here years ago for a fabulous Lucky Shops event. It’s a very versatile space, thanks to two balconies and a crowd friendly circular floor plan.
My company’s holiday party was gorgeous and really showed off how majestic this space can look. Not necessarily my taste, but if you are looking for a beautifully ornate backdrop for an event or wedding, this Midtown spot is a gem.

Gotham Hall is a gorgeous venue in the heart of midtown New York City. Attended a wedding here in November 2013 and the venue, staff and food were superb. The cocktail hour was in the entrance space — you walk up these elegant stairs, are welcomed by courteous staff, and directed where to place your winter layers in the coat check. Nice space for a cocktail party — not too big, and very intimate. Our wedding event was in the main ballroom, then we went upstairs on returned to the cocktail area, while they flipped the room for the reception. when we returned for the party, there is a big stage where there was a live band, a large wood dance floor, and lots of space for tables and buffet too. overall, a glorious venue.

Beautiful space with a stellar in house staff to boot! Planned a celebrity charity gala here recently and it was a huge success. Guests loved the venue and every staff member at Gotham made our event memorable all in the best ways possible.
They have a second level with a big balcony that overlooks the main ballroom and also smaller rooms that could be used for private green rooms and such. Using their exclusive in house vendors for AV and catering went without a hitch as well. Can’t wait to plan another event here!

2012 company holiday party was hosted here. There was a coat check disaster. Turned in to 3 hour wait at the max for coats to be located. For a 4 hour block of time for the whole party, most of the party was spent by people on line to get their coats when word that the coat check was unorganized made its way through the party.
While it was a beautiful location, the food was mediocre and the coat check fail ruined our company holiday party. Basing solely on my experience, it would be hard to recommend this place for large (500−1000+) occasions.
2 stars for coat check mayhem and very mediocre food.

This gorgeous place has character, style and the perfect name for it.
During the event I’ve been attending annually, I look up and see Batman on the roof standing at the edge of the large oval glass ceiling protecting Gotham’s citizens.
The terrace, if you can find it, is a great place to schmooze with co workers.
This place breathes sophistication, and in the heart of the city and relic of a more romantic era.

NYUCD held a Halloween Party here and it was JAW DROPPING amazing. This place is huge and so beautiful. I loved the high ceiling, tall columns and subtle lighting.
The music was pumping. The servers at the bar were friendly and quick. All of us had a great time here. This is definitely a gorgeous hall to hold any type of event.
