Hall des Lumières

Hall des Lumières is a private event venue in Lower Manhattan, set inside the restored former Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank. Its historic Beaux-Arts architecture, marble features and large-scale projection technology give organisers a distinctive backdrop for corporate gatherings, brand activations, fashion events, galas, receptions and weddings.

The venue offers several spaces across two levels, allowing event planners to choose a setting suited to the format and guest numbers. The grand Historical Floor accommodates up to 950 guests standing or 330 seated, while the contemporary Modern Floor can host up to 500 standing or 250 seated. Smaller options include a naturally lit foyer and the former bank vault, which offers an intimate setting for dinners, VIP gatherings and activations. Green rooms are also available for event teams and guests.

Immersive projections and spatial audio can help shape the atmosphere, with an in-house production team available to scope lighting, sound, video, staging and custom projection requirements. Organisers can discuss the event format, guest flow, production needs and venue logistics with the sales team. Catering can be arranged through preferred suppliers, or an outside caterer may be considered subject to approval. The venue also supports wedding ceremonies and receptions, with its multiple spaces suited to celebrations that move from cocktails and dinner to a late-night party. Hall des Lumières combines flexible event facilities with a memorable historic setting for planners seeking a venue in central Manhattan.
