The Smart Choice for Special Events

Tradition Meets Tomorrow

For over a century, the Harvard Club of New York City has been the standard by which university clubs are measured. Now, with the addition of a gleaming eight-story, 41,000 square-foot building, the Club has boldly affirmed its leadership and commitment to tomorrow's generation.

The new facilities, which feature meeting rooms, additional guest rooms, and an expanded state-of-the-art kitchen, are intelligently integrated with the familiar, Neo-Georgian architecture reminiscent of Harvard University itself. From the incomparable Harvard Hall to conference rooms outfitted with the latest technology, the Club is informed by history as it embraces the future. Ideally located in midtown Manhattan, the Harvard Club of New York City is the smart choice for a full spectrum of year-round events.

A Grand Event for Ten... An Intimate Event for 600 O ver a century of consideration has gone into every aspect of the

Clubhouse, whose very purpose is to facilitate meetings like yours. The Harv a rd Club of New York City hosts a full spectrum of events year-round:

Corporate Events and Conferences A name synonymous with business success. A location at the center of the world's business capital. The very choice of the Harvard Club as a corporate venue lends extraordinary "brand equity" to your event, as many Fortune 500 companies have found.

Fundraisers and Charitable Events There is no better "where" to gather the "Who's Who" than in this unique and convenient setting in the center of Manhattan. As your guests transition from the city's bustle to the Club's timeless ambiance, you will find an attentive and receptive audience for your cause. Many leading non-profit and charitable organizations have and continue to host their annual events at the club.

Social Events, Including Weddings and Bar/Bat Mitzvahs A once-in-a-lifetime event deserves a one-of-a-kind setting. The grandeur of the Harvard Club is made for memories.

For those with distinctive tastes and a desire for elegance, the Harvard Club of New York City is "The Place" for special events.

Event Spaces

H arvard Hall, with its three-story-high ceiling and rich, dark paneling, is considered by architects to be among the finest interior spaces in the world. A truly unique and memorable venue for an event, Harvard Hall can accommodate up to 350 guests.

Eighteen banquet rooms on the Club's second and third floors vary in size and d?cor, and are perfect for any type of social or business event. Up to 200 guests can be accommodated at any time of the day or evening for meetings, receptions, weddings, cocktail parties or dinner parties.

The Gordon Reading Room has a lovely, bright atmosphere and is just right for private parties and programs. The room offers the perfect atmosphere to document your event through photography. The new Cambridge Room, pictured here, features floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Manhattan streetscape. This expansive and cheerful space is perfect for large gatherings.

Guest Accommodations

T he Club's fourth and fifth floors offer 75 single and double overnight guest room accommodations, all with air conditioning, cable TV, wireless broadband Internet access, maid, valet and room service.

Rates are favorable compared to leading midtown hotels, and the convenience of waking up just moments away from the Harvard Club's amenities is beyond compare.

Reserving guest rooms in conjunction with an event, both for VIP guests and for event organizers, can contribute to ensuring a successful, smooth-running function.

Service and Cuisine as Extraordinary as the Setting

B y definition, a clubhouse is a social venue, and the Harv a rd Club of New York City is only as good as the wonderful people who carry on the tradition of excellence we have inherited. Our ever-attentive staff is dedicated to making your event the best it can be.

As in many homes, activities at the Club tend to revolve around the kitchen. Our chefs have mastered their art at some of the world's top restaurants. Under their watchful eye, fresh bread, pastries and cakes are baked daily in our on-site bakery. As the only club in New York with its own butcher shop, our meat is the freshest possible as we cut, cure and season daily.

The culinary experience enjoyed by our discerning members as well as guests from many Fortune 500 companies is memorable. From the traditional "Harvard popovers" to the Chef's entr?es, daily soups and mouth-watering desserts all prepared in the Club's kitchens, each course is meticulously presented on Harvard's china and served with professional ?lan.

Ice sculptures that depict images of current motifs and bygone eras take us back to a time when well-prepared fine foods were the privilege of a select few. The Chef's dedicated staff brings this elegance back to life for all to experience and enjoy.
