The Lincoln Ballroom

With its original deep walnut wood paneling, gracefully arched windows, and sumptuous décor, the Lincoln Ballroom is the perfect setting for banquets, large dinner parties and receptions. The Ballroom was named for Charles Clarke Lincoln, Sr., one of the Hotel’s builders and original owners.

Card Room

Just off the Hotel mezzanine is the charming and intimate Card Room with its China red walls and grey, black and red floor tiles, some in a motif of playing cards and others portraying a stately art deco rooster peering into an effervescent cocktail. The hotel’s Black Rooster lounge is named for this whimsical bird!

 

 

Mezzanine

Accessible from the second-level lobby via a double stairway, The Mezzanine connects the Lincoln Ballroom, the Card Room, the Major Bowen Boardroom room and the Balcony. It can serve as an orchestral stage, the setting for buffet tables at receptions, or as an informal gathering area. The Mezzanine is the usual spot for complimentary coffee for Hotel guests 24 hours a day.
