Description

An architectural tour de force, the opulent Park Plaza embodies the rich and decadent boomtown times of Los Angeles before the 1929 stock market crash. built in 1925 (it was originally and Elks Lodge), the Park Plaza offers a plethora of exhilarating event sites.

Take the magnificent stairway up from the Lobby, turn left and you’ll encounter our favorite event site—the Grand Ballroom. It is, in a word, spectacular. On either side of the room twin colonnades create a linear dynamism, drawing the eye along the length of the room. The meticulously restored beamed ceilings showcase hand-painted floral designs, patterned after a palace ceiling in Florence. Chandeliers suspended from the beams spotlight these amazing works of art. One of Los Angeles’ best kept secrets, the Park Plaza has become THE place for film shoots, record launchings, wrap parties and Hollywood bashes.
