Your Event at ESB’s Empire Lounge: Three Ways

Located just below the Empire State Building’s iconic lobby, the Empire Lounge offers the perfect setting for a bespoke event right in your office building. 

So, what makes an event at the Empire Lounge ideal? 

1 – The setting is quintessential NYC. The Empire Lounge’s nods to the building’s iconic Art Deco architecture and sophisticated atmosphere elevate milestones, meetings, and receptions. The Empire State Building’s location in the heart of Midtown Manhattan makes it easy for guests to arrive no matter where they come from. 

2 – Planning is streamlined. ESRT staff supports you from concept through day-of execution with tailored floor plans, recommended timelines, and curated enhancements aligned with your goals. Simply state your preferences and leave the rest up to us! 

3 – Amenities work for you. Adjustable lighting and audio, refined furniture layouts, and premium catering options help create an event tailored specifically to your needs. 

• Multi-sport court – Equipped with two retractable hoops and a scoreboard, the multi-sport court is perfect to reserve for a team-building basketball game or pickleball session. With flexibility and on-site support, you can forget the details and focus on the friendly competition.

• ESRTees – Enjoy exclusive access to two top-of-the-line golf simulators adjacent to the east lounge when you book ESRTees. Ideal for smaller groups who want relaxed networking alongside activity, ESRTees provides the perfect setting to entertain clients or seal the deal.

• Full Buyout – From a company town hall meeting to an annual holiday party, the Empire Lounge buyout accommodates 400+ guests with a layout designed for versatility and flow. The package includes the multi-sport court and an all-hands area with three sections of pull-out bleachers, a podium, and three large drop-down screens, perfect for presentations, activations, and receptions under one iconic roof. The bar and lounge areas feature a wet bar and ample seating for a seamless transition from a keynote or demo to a social mixer.

• Full-service catering – Round out your experience with food and beverage catering from STATE Grill & Bar – ESB’s signature restaurant that features elevated American fare – or enjoy tacos, burritos, and margaritas from Tacombi. Catering is available for breakfast, lunch, or dinner in buffet or cocktail-style formats.
