Venue: Tiffany Center, Portland OR
We’ll be adding more information here as it becomes available, so check back!
Located at the corner of 14th Ave and Southwest Morrison Street, the Tiffany Center is a Modern/Art Deco building featuring two large ballrooms and a conference space for a range of event types. Our building’s stunning entrance features a local artist’s reproduction of Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel, which underscores the historic 1920’s elegance of Portland’s premier event facility.
The large, arched opening is adorned with stone-carved gargoyles that add to the building’s mystique. The interior appointments of the lobby, reception rooms, and formal event rooms have been maintained with the wood paneling, lighting, and windows of the original building.
We will be using the 500-person Emerald Ballroom on the 4th floor, the 200-person Chrystal Ballroom on the 2nd floor, and the 40-person Suite 301 on the 3rd floor. All rooms on the upper floors of the Tiffany Center are accessible by elevator.
