Art Deco Elegance, Thoughtfully Served

Right in the heart of downtown Dayton, The Grande Hall at Liberty Tower is one of the city's most celebrated event destinations.

Housed inside the historic Liberty Tower and recognized by the National Register of Historic Places, The Grande Hall blends nearly 100 years of Dayton history with modern amenities and a stunning Art Deco ballroom that serves as a backdrop unlike anything else in the region. Whether hosting an elegant wedding reception or a significant corporate celebration, the venue creates an atmosphere that feels both grand and genuinely Dayton.
