Based on the design of a Greek amphitheater, The Appel Room (formerly the Allen Room) merges luxuriant splendor with functional accessibility. One glance at the dramatic 50'x90' wall of glass confirms that The Appel Room possesses one of New York City's greatest backdrops-Central Park and the Manhattan skyline. Several mechanical tiers make up the fluid inner structure of the amphitheater, offering a strikingly adaptable layout. The ingenious structure allows for a smooth transformation from supper-club or event mode (four wide tiers) to theater mode (seven incremental levels). For additional capability, The Allen Room features a removable stage on its bottom level. The Allen Room provides an ideal location for a variety of diverse needs.
