Introduction

The Rainbow Room is a private event space located on the 65th floor of the Rockefeller Center in New York City. It is known for its stunning panoramic views of the city and its rich history as a cultural landmark.

History

The Rainbow Room was first opened in 1934, during the Great Depression. It was designed by architect Wallace K. Harrison and interior designer Elena Bachman Schmidt. The venue quickly became a popular destination for the city's elite, hosting a variety of events from glamorous parties to high-profile corporate events.

In 1985, the Rainbow Room was declared a New York City Landmark, protecting it from any future alterations. Despite this, the venue has undergone several renovations over the years, the most recent of which was completed in 2014.

Features

The Rainbow Room is renowned for its elegant Art Deco style. The main room features a rotating dance floor, a domed ceiling, and walls lined with mirrors and windows offering breathtaking views of the city.

In addition to the main room, the Rainbow Room complex also includes several other event spaces. These include the Bar SixtyFive, a cocktail lounge, and the Private Dining Rooms, a collection of smaller rooms for more intimate gatherings.

Events

The Rainbow Room has hosted a wide range of events over the years. These include weddings, corporate events, charity galas, and even live performances. Some of the most notable events in its history include the NBC 75th Anniversary Special and the Tony Awards after-party.

In Popular Culture

The Rainbow Room has been featured in numerous films and television shows, including Sleepless in Seattle, The Apprentice, and Mad Men. It has also been mentioned in several books and songs, further cementing its status as a cultural icon.
