NEW YORK–Located in Manhattan’s Chelsea District, the Metropolitan Pavilion has added another metropolitan. The Metropolitan Suite, an 8,500-square- feet, loft-like space, is the latest addition to this multi-level meeting and special event venue known for its sophisticated urban feel and understated luxury.

The Metropolitan Pavilion now features a total of 55,000 square feet. The available meeting and event spaces also include: The South Pavilion, with 17,000 square feet, accommodating up to 965; the North Pavilion features 8,500 square feet and a capacity of 600; The Gallery, which features 7,300 square feet, accommodates up to 280 and The Level at Metropolitan Pavilion, which features 8,000 square feet.

The new addition to these spaces, the Metropolitan Suite, was designed by Metropolitan Pavilion Events & Production, owners and operators of the venue. The Metropolitan Suite, situated on the second floor of the facility, is easily accessible by a 20-person elevator or the grand staircase. Meeting event attendees enter through a lobby resplendent in cream tones and mogano porcelain tiles. The main floor space spans an entire street block with an open contiguous floor plan, rich chocolate oak wood floors, contrasting neutral white walls, 15-foot ceilings, and north and south exposures from 10ft high windows.

"When we designed the venue, we wanted to offer a new dimension of experience and taste to complement our suite of upscale venues with design and architectural features not seen in our other event spaces,” said Shelly Taggar, Vice President of Sales & Creative Services, Metropolitan Pavilion. “The new space is still in our desired central location, and with more options available to our clients, we can further cater to meet their needs to help make their event even more memorable."

The Metropolitan Suite incorporates environmentally conscious design elements in keeping with Metropolitan Pavilion commitment to sustainable practices. The new space features 120-low voltage LED track lighting to reduce energy consumption, the oak wood are made with materials from sustainably harvested forests, the tiles of the lobby and restroom areas are comprised of 100% recycled content, and the flooring of the kitchen and back hallway are made with rapidly renewable US-grown plant ingredients, which reduces reliance on petroleum and fossil fuels. 

The Metropolitan Suite has hosted red carpet galas, media intensive events, cocktail receptions, product launches, trade events, fashion shows, and corporate meetings and conferences. Some included:  Momentous events hosted at Metropolitan Pavilion include: The American Folk Art Museum Celebrates “The Best of America” at American Antiques Show, Affordable Art Fair, The Manhattan Vintage Clothing Show, The Chocolate Show,  The American Cancer Society Taste of Hope, The Makeup Show, Internet Week, Direction by Indigo, Pepcom - Technology Showcase, and exclusive samples sales from Hermes, Ralph Lauren, and L’Oreal.
