Alhambra Palace Chicago can host weddings, corporate events, galas, fundraisers and concerts for 50 to 1,200 guests. The venue is a Mediterranean restaurant and entertainment destination at 1240 W Randolph Street in Chicago, built around a palace-inspired interior with several rooms that can be booked separately or together.
Seminars and company events
Corporate events are one of the occasions the venue lists. The Babylon Room is the most practical room for a business gathering: it holds up to 128 for a reception and comes with full audiovisual capabilities and a private bar. For an executive dinner, the VIP Room takes up to 75 and is described as secluded. Larger company parties can use the Marrakesh Room for up to 260 or the Main Hall for up to 900.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings appear first in the list of events the venue hosts, next to birthdays, galas, concerts, filming and fundraisers. The Marrakesh Room is presented as a space for mid-size celebrations of up to 260 guests. Couples with a larger guest list can look at the Main Hall, which has high ceilings and holds up to 900 for a reception. A full multi-level rental gives the whole building to one host, up to 1,200 for a reception.
Rooms and capacities
Full multi-level rental: up to 1,200 reception, with every level and space. Main Hall: up to 900 reception. Marrakesh Room: up to 260. Babylon Room: up to 128, with AV and a private bar.

All figures are reception capacities. Organisers planning a seated dinner should ask the events team for the seated count of each room.
Catering
The venue runs its own Mediterranean-inspired kitchen and a crafted cocktail program, and its website has a dedicated catering page. Menus on regular nights include hummus, falafel, lamb chops, ribeye and kabobs, with baklava among the desserts. The events team can say how this carries over to a private booking.
History and setting
The interior is inspired by the grand palaces of Andalusia. The venue also runs show nights, with live music on Wednesdays and a DJ on Thursdays, and has a stage that can serve concerts and filming. That makes it a fit for events where entertainment is part of the program.
