The best conference spaces to rent in Chelsea

Along the Hudson River in Chelsea is the Pier Sixy Collection: a landmark in New York City for special events. There are three event spaces available for any conference of up to 500 people: Pier Sixty, the Lighthouse, and Current. The elevated spaces are modern, open, and filled with natural light from the floor-to-ceiling windows, which showcase lovely riverside views of the Hudson. The cutting-edge technology and artistic menus from culinary experts make it a gorgeous and innovative conference location.

Only a ten-minute walk from Penn Station, Lavan Chelsea is a modern event space perfect for any major conference. Although it is street level, it’s filled with lots of natural light, thanks to the 20 ft. ceilings. Lavan has a built-in state-of-the-art sound and lighting system, a 270-degree projector in the main room, and full-service catering. Its 5,000 sq. ft. can hold up to 300 people–and it has been the event space for major brands including Rare Beauty, Redbull, Marc Jacobs, and more!

Behind its quaint red brick exterior, The Standard’s Chelsea location offers sleek event spaces overlooking the High Line.

The Garden Rooms are divided into 2 smaller rooms still bathed in sunlight, and the High Line Room overlooks – yep, you guessed it – the High Line and the Hudson River with an outdoor terrace. Both spaces offer breakfast, lunch, dinner, and cocktail menus and state-of-the-art technology for any major meeting.
