Receptions for up to 100 guests, meetings for up to 60 and board sessions for 10 take place at Hotel Belleclaire, a landmark hotel opened in 1903 on Broadway at 77th Street, on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Its three event spaces sit alongside 262 guestrooms and two locally owned venues, a French bakery cafe and a cocktail lounge, which supply the catering.
Seminars and company events
The Broadway Room is the main meeting space. Located on the 10th floor, it covers 850 square feet in an atrium setting with natural light and takes from 5 to 60 people. It has a kitchenette for food and beverage setups and current audiovisual equipment, which suits training sessions, workshops and presentations. For smaller groups, the Presidential Suite offers 1,100 square feet arranged as a living room, with hardwood floors, natural light, a full-sized refrigerator and a kitchenette. It takes private meetings of up to 10 people, and extra seating and work space can be added. Teams in town for a conference elsewhere in the city can combine a block of guestrooms with a working session or a closing drinks reception on site. The address also places groups within walking distance of the American Museum of Natural History.
Weddings and receptions
The official site does not market weddings. For receptions, cocktail parties and company celebrations, Allure Lounge holds up to 100 guests on 1,560 square feet. It has a 17-foot marble bar, crystal chandeliers and a skylight spanning the entire ceiling, as well as a plasma screen and DJ equipment. It can be booked for private or semi-private events.

Allure Lounge covers 1,560 square feet and takes up to 100 guests. The Broadway Room, on the 10th floor, covers 850 square feet and takes 5 to 60 guests. The Presidential Suite covers 1,100 square feet and takes up to 10 guests. The site does not list capacities by layout, so theater or banquet figures should be requested from the sales team.
Accommodation
The hotel has 262 guestrooms, renovated with historically inspired interiors. Some include kitchenettes, which helps for longer stays. Check-in is at 3 pm and check-out at noon.
Catering
Catering is handled on site. Allure Lounge serves drinks and food for events held in the lounge itself, and the Broadway Room can be catered by Allure or by Mille-Feuille, the French bakery cafe in the building. Guests who book direct receive a daily dining credit at either venue.
History and setting
