The best Manhattan corporate venues

Stuffy rooms and bland walls get repetitive and are frankly boring. To spice up your event, look into Ascent Lounge, a Manhattan corporate venue that brings luxury and comfort to business. When we say luxury, we mean it – they’ve got shimmering Swokorski crystal lighting fixtures.

Up to 500 guests can fit in this 5,500 sq. ft. space overlooking Central Park. They have state-of-the-art audiovisual equipment and a premium bar, and if you really want to wow your group, they have access to various forms of entertainment, including DJs, singers, and celebrity appearances. Ascent Lounge won't fail to add some spark to your corporate event.

We all love making a mess but don't love the repercussions of cleaning it up– planning a corporate event is stressful, and it's best to minimize as many logistics as possible. You'll be happy to hear that The Lofts at Prince will set up and clean up for your event. Don't be shy in telling this venue precisely what you want – they urge you to "make our space your space."

With resources like projectors, an IT staff, Polycom, video conferencing, and free wifi, your day should go off without a hitch. The Penthouse Six space is 2250 sq. ft. with access to the rooftop deck and garden (max. 50 seated and 60 standing). The Soho Loft is 1,800 sq. ft. with a kitchen and is ideal for boardroom meetings or corporate retreats (max. 60 seated and 70 standing). Lastly, Suite 500 is a more private option for 2-16 guests.

There is nothing you can't do at Apella, a modern Manhattan corporate venue that sits on the edge of the East River, allowing natural light to pour into the space. The 3.5-acre property is home to 20,000 sq. ft. of meeting spaces and ten private suites, accommodating groups of 2-300.

In the middle of NoMad, Blender Event Space screams business casual with funky paintings and a trendy bar. Although it's a bright and social Manhattan corporate venue, it has everything to help you get straight to business. Catering, flip charts, projectors, and monitors are some of the few resources they have to strengthen your event.

Potential areas include the Suite Event Space (max. 120 seated, 200 standing), the Study Event Space (max. 30 seated,50 standing), the Lounge Space (max. 40 seated,75 standing), and the Bar Space (max. 25 seated,50 standing).

Nothing helps take the stress out of important discussions quite like food, and The Happiest Hour will help remove any unnecessary stiffness from your event. Walls splayed with palm tree wallpaper, pink and green incorporated throughout the interior, and a casual yet elevated menu create an inviting atmosphere. You can get to business while eating yummy food and feeling tropical – we could all use a break from the concrete jungle.

This venue can accommodate 20-300 guests ranging from semi-private to private corporate events.
