About this space
The Crystal Ballroom is a grand and iconic event space, offering approximately 6,300 square feet of richly detailed architecture and refined historic character. With a soaring 30‑foot hand‑painted ceiling, Austrian crystal chandeliers, and ornate balconies, the space radiates Old Hollywood elegance. Famous as “the birthplace of Oscar,” it's where the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was founded and the Oscar statuette was reportedly sketched on a Biltmore napkin during that seminal banquet. Today, it accommodates up to 800 guests standing or 600 seated, making it ideal for elegant receptions, gala dinners, and large-scale ceremonies.
