Washington DC hotels with ballrooms for parties

Hotels offer some of the finest ballroom experiences in the area. Each one is a major event venue since you'll not only have the ballroom but banquet halls, restaurants, and other amenities for guests to explore. The Washington Marriott Marquis is DC's largest hotel. It connects directly to the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, making it an ideal location for large-scale special events like corporate gatherings and trade shows. The Marquis Grand Ballroom seats up to 3,500 guests in a 30,600-sq.-ft. space with 22-ft ceilings. You can also reserve one of two smaller 10,800-sq.-ft. ballrooms as well for a special event. Hotels are also the best event spaces if you're expecting many guests from out of town. Visitors can sleep, eat, and party in a single building, ensuring no one will be late for the event you have planned in the ballroom!

Historic ballroom event venues in Washington DC

A ballroom is more than just a beautiful space. Many are also historic venues where the story of Washington, D.C. is a part of the architecture. One of our favorites is the Patterson Mansion. Located in the Dupont Circle district the building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. You'll have several venues to choose from, including the intimate ballroom, with seating for up to 60 guests. The Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center is another historic selection. It is the only federal building designated for government and public use. You'll find not just ballrooms but fine dining, entertainment, retail, and office spaces here. Consider reserving the Atrium or Horizon Ballroom for a corporate event or wedding reception. The larger Atrium Ballroom hosts up to 1,275 guests with an airwall that can divide the space in half, a VIP holding area, direct loading dock access, and much more! The smaller Horizon Ballroom hosts "only" 300 guests and has support for video conferences, professional audio-visual equipment, and the potential of splitting the space in two.
