GH on the Park hosts corporate meetings, product launches, conferences, weddings and social events across seven rentable floors, with up to 300 guests on the three Mansion Floors combined and up to 165 on the Tenth Floor alone. The building stands at 54 West 40th Street in Midtown Manhattan, facing Bryant Park, and offers more than 37,000 square feet of event space that can be booked floor by floor or as a whole.
Seminars and company events
The upper Loft Floors are set up for working days. The Eleventh Floor has breakout rooms, a conference room and an open area for 20 to 40 people, a format that suits a board meeting or a small workshop. The Eighth and Ninth Floors each take up to 100 guests in a main room with breakout rooms and a lounge; the Eighth adds a pre-production stage area and the Ninth a warming kitchen. For a larger plenary or a product launch, the Tenth Floor holds up to 165 guests under 17-foot ceilings, with a bar and direct views over Bryant Park. Audio, video and lighting are available on every floor, and the venue's packages include staging platforms, podiums, 75-inch monitors and color-changing ceiling lights. Each booking includes a 12-hour window covering load-in, the event and load-out.
Weddings and receptions
The Mansion Floors carry the period architecture: ornate detailing, a grand staircase, a library and a ballroom. A wedding can open on the First Floor for the cocktail hour, with The Parlor as a semi-private lounge and bar for 75 to 100 guests, then move up to the Second Floor ballroom for dinner. Together the three Mansion Floors receive up to 300 guests.
