Best spots for intimate proposals and elopements
If you’re planning a small, private proposal or an elopement, the Penthouse Lofts (Loft North and Loft South) and the Suite, Terrace offer private indoor space plus terraces with downtown Manhattan views—these work well for a quiet moment followed by a small celebration. The Gallery (street level) can also be reserved for a low-key, art-gallery feel.
For very small ceremonies or surprise proposals, consider reserving a corner suite or booking a private dinner in the Castelli Room or a reserved area of Grand Bar & Salon. The hotel events team and concierge can help time a restaurant reservation or coordinate flowers, photographer access and privacy requests.
