Host your wedding or next event at the historic Prince George Ballroom! The sleek, industrial chic Gallery entrance, which is perfect for cocktail hours, blends modernism with the ornate, art deco elements of the main Ballroom. This unique space is sure to stun all of your guests with its immense grandeur. Built in 1904 with an addition in 1912, The Prince George Hotel was a key fixture in the vibrant Madison Square neighborhood. The hotel was designed by architect Howard Greenley in the Beaux Arts style, and had many classical and Neo-Renaissance flourishes. In 1996, Breaking Ground acquired The Prince George Hotel, and with the help of government agencies and corporate partners, transformed the building into permanent supportive housing for homeless and low-income single adults. In 2015, the Prince George Ballroom in Manhattan's now Flatiron district, underwent a major renovation, modernizing the historic space while maintaining its original features. In addition to having a beautiful event, clients are supporting a great cause. Proceeds from the ballroom events support the non-profit Breaking Ground's housing development and outreach programs for homeless and other vulnerable New Yorkers.
