Bohemian National Hall

Bohemian National Hall is a designated New York City landmark on the Upper East Side, housed in a five-story Renaissance Revival building constructed between 1895 and 1897 by architect William C. Frohne for the Bohemian Benevolent and Literary Association. For over a century it operated as a cultural, educational, and social center for Czech and Slovak immigrants in New York City. The Czech Government took ownership in 2001 and completed a full restoration; the building reopened in October 2008 as a multi-purpose event center. The Hall offers six distinct event spaces ranging from an intimate Cinema to a Grand Ballroom that accommodates up to 300 guests, plus a Rooftop Terrace with Upper East Side skyline views. The Grand Ballroom can be subdivided with movable partitions or combined with the adjacent Ballroom Balcony and VIP Conference Room above it. Throughout the building, events have access to state-of-the-art A/V equipment, fully equipped kitchens, built-in bar areas, two Petrov pianos, and wheelchair-accessible facilities via two elevators.
