About Gotham Hall:

Originally constructed between 1922 and 1924 as The Greenwich Savings Bank, Gotham Hall was built to serve as the bank’s headquarters, with a prominent midtown address. Featuring an architectural design by York and Sawyer, the intersection of 36th Street and 6th Avenue was met with one of the most impressive spaces Manhattan has ever seen. The interior boasts Corinthian columns, granite walls, marble flooring, inscriptions and antique attributes symbolizing wisdom and commerce, and a domed ceiling with a 3,000-square-foot stained-glass skylight. By 2000, this historical landmark had transitioned into one of the most prestigious places to host a sophisticated affair. Spend some time taking in the building’s stunning architecture and classic character while enjoying cocktails with colleagues at this iconic New York City landmark.
