Spaces · The Palm River Room

The Palm River Room: our largest ballroom

The big one.

Our largest room, and the one people gasp at. A cathedral ceiling, panoramic windows the length of the wall, and enough floor for 800 guests without anyone feeling far from the party.

The full Palm River Room set for a wedding, cathedral ceiling and walnut wall

The Palm River Room takes the whole upper floor. Light pours in all afternoon, the ceiling lifts the room, and at night the skyline does the rest. If your list keeps growing, this is the room that keeps up.

Amenities

What comes with the Palm River Room

  • Floor-to-ceiling glass

    Windows the full height of the room and the full length of the wall. The view is not a feature of this room, it is the room.

  • Panoramic river views

    The Detroit River straight ahead, from Belle Isle to the Ambassador Bridge, with the skyline in sight.

  • A private cocktail hour bar

    A separate cocktail area with its own private bar and restrooms, staffed by our team, for the hour before the room opens.

  • Room for 800

    5,500 square feet of it, so the guest list can keep growing without the night starting to feel spread thin.

Bring the whole list.
