Ariel Pearl Center

The Ariel Pearl Center is a historic event venue in Cleveland, Ohio, occupying a landmark 1923 bank building — the Pearl Street Savings and Trust Bank — designed by the architectural firm Hubbell & Benes, whose other work includes the Cleveland Museum of Art and the West Side Market. The building's original character is preserved throughout: marble columns and floors, the original bank vault, stone walls, large arched windows, and a decorative plasterwork ceiling adorned with crystal chandeliers. Three distinct spaces — the Grand Hall with Rotunda and Vault, the Cocktail/Ceremony Room, and the Fireplace Room — give planners flexibility for events ranging from intimate gatherings to seated receptions of up to 250 guests. The Grand Hall, the venue's signature space, can be reconfigured to include a dance floor, accommodating 200 guests in that layout.
