About Hotel Pennsylvania

Welcome to Hotel Pennsylvania, a storied Midtown Manhattan venue with a rich history of hosting events from grand galas to intimate meetings. Located at 401 Seventh Ave, just steps from Penn Station, this site offered about 90,000 square feet of flexible meeting and event space across multiple ballrooms and rooms, including the Penntop Ballroom, Skytop Ballroom, and Gold Ballroom. While the hotel itself closed in 2020 and was demolished by 2023 to make way for the Penn15 development, the legacy of its event spaces and iconic experiences continues to inform our view of NYC’s event landscape. Whether you’re planning a conference, gala, or social gathering, we’ve got you covered with practical details and nearby options to secure your seats and space.

Below you'll find clear, non-pretentious guidance on available venues, seating configurations, parking, transit options, and nearby accommodations and dining to help you plan a seamless event in the Garment District and beyond.

For event planning, consider nearby transit hubs to maximize guest convenience. Penn Station and Moynihan Train Hall connect major subway lines (A/C/E and 1/2/3) with regional rail access. Parking options cluster within blocks, with facilities typically ranging from the best available price to the best available price per hour depending on garage and time of day. Booking platforms like SpotHero provide easy access to nearby garages. When sourcing hotels, the Garment District offers numerous options within walking distance, including AC Hotel Times Square, Archer Hotel, and Aliz Hotel Times Square, which pair practical accommodations with straightforward booking. For dining and entertainment, the area offers classic and modern options, from casual spots to refined experiences, ensuring guests have a reliable, no-fuss pre- and post-event plan.

Tip: secure your event space and guest accommodations early with trusted partners to keep arrangements simple and dependable — just like having a friend in the business.
