The Gallery Level
Inspired by Parisian lofts of the past, these airy, light-filled rooms offer a timeless setting for holiday celebrations both intimate and expressive. Crown moldings, crystal chandeliers, and crisp white walls float above reclaimed wood herringbone floors, creating the perfect canvas for seasonal dinners, festive photoshoots, or thoughtful gatherings.
Bathed in natural light by day and glowing by candlelight at night, the space feels as inspiring as the season itself.
The Grand Lobby
For nearly a century, the Grand Lobby has been the heart of The Culver Hotel and during the holidays, its glow feels even more iconic. With soaring ceilings, towering windows, and a richly detailed bar, the space effortlessly hosts everything from intimate to grand-scale gatherings.
Whether you're toasting the season or ringing in something new, it’s a setting designed for moments worth remembering.
The Velvet Lounge
Tucked just above the Grand Lobby, the Velvet Lounge is our moody-meets-glam mezzanine escape, ideal for a festive fête with personality. With a private bar, cozy lounge seating, and room to dance beneath the disco ball, it’s made for nights that unfold with a little style and a lot of spirit.
Add a live DJ or your own holiday playlist. Cue a classic film or a custom slideshow. Sip something bespoke. Celebrate your way.
The Crystal Dining Room
Discover the elegance of the Crystal Dining Room, an ideal private space for dinners, cocktail parties, afternoon teas, or wedding ceremonies. Dramatic lofty ceilings adorned with crystal chandeliers beautifully contrast with the cozier rear space, while the original black and white checkerboard marble floor complements the hotel’s authentic décor. Enjoy direct access to the Velvet Lounge and our garden patio, allowing for versatile combined event setups.
The Parisian Room
The Parisian Room is the largest and most versatile space on our Gallery Level, ideal for hosting holiday luncheons, celebratory receptions, or festive showcases with an artistic edge. With its refined layout and direct access to both The Studio and Mr. Culver’s Office, it seamlessly supports events that flow from one space to the next.
