About the Space Tucked beneath a jewelry store, The Vault is a 2000 sq ft private event and retail space in the heart of SoHo. Back in 1984 it was a working jewelry vault, the space has been reimagined as a modern lounge and creative venue—preserving its industrial charm while offering refined minimalism for luxury pop-ups, content shoots, and intimate gatherings. Neighborhood Sitting on a premiere block and surrounded by SoHo’s world-class boutiques, cafés, and galleries, The Vault is at the center of one of New York City’s most iconic districts. The neighborhood is known globally for its cobblestone streets, cast-iron architecture, and creative energy that attracts leading designers, artists, and tastemakers from around the world. Guests are surrounded by an ever-evolving mix of boutiques, cafés, galleries, and concept stores, offering a uniquely inspiring backdrop for retail activations, private events, and creative productions. Layout & Logistics The open-concept layout includes a flexible two floor space for retail displays, brand activations, or lounge seating. Amenities include a full kitchen, two private restrooms, coat check, adjustable gallery lighting, Wi-Fi, and a raised loft area ideal for a DJ or speaking setup. The space offers dual access points—one through the jewelry store at street level and another via a private elevator entrance for easy load-in and accessibility. Street parking and nearby garages are available, and multiple subway lines (C, E, R, W, 1) are within a 5-minute walk. Special Rates & Notes Pricing may vary depending on booking type and size. Preferred rates are available for multi-day pop-ups and creative productions. For larger private events, please inquire about customized setups or staffing options.
