The top meeting rooms in the Financial District

Some people may dislike the controlling, intimidating nature of Emily Gilmore, but her role as president the Daughters of the American Revolution proves her to be a passionate and caring leader (and iconic event planner, if we may say so ourselves). "Gilmore Girls" shows the class, elegance, and social community of historic organizations, and if you want to capture these vibes for your next meeting, go to the Down Town Association, which has been open since 1859.

Are you looking for a place to hold an afternoon or multi-day meeting?

If you are nervous about a meeting, it is always wise to go with a reputable company, and Hyatt is one of those brands that people know and trust.

The Pine (max. 60), has a built-in screen and projector and can be combined with other spaces to create a larger area known as the Gallery. The Exchange Room (max. 60) has a lounge area in addition to traditional seating. And if you want a different vibe, you can meet in the private dining room (max. 15) to talk and eat.

Serendipity is not just an exclamation, movie title, or a place to get hot chocolate; there’s also Serendipity Labs, a Financial District meeting room.

The various board rooms throughout the venue can fit up to 10 people, have display and presentation systems, and can be booked hourly, or for half-day or full-day events. Lastly, the visual studios (max. 7) are smaller but fully equipped, so you can Zoom in the rest of your group if needed.
