Travel to Starline Ballroom

What fits in this room
Function space is bought as a set, not as a room. Ask Starline Ballroom which spaces are on the same floor and which need a lift, because a breakout two levels away loses a third of its audience at every changeover.
- training days and workshops
Purpose-built function rooms with the power and load-in a workshop assumes.
- corporate off-sites
Off-sites, kickoffs and planning days all fit the same room set.
- leadership retreats
Smaller, quieter rooms suit a retreat better than a hall does.
