The Biltmore is home to the Georgian and Imperial ballrooms, Atlanta’s two most spectacular European-style ballrooms. Both ballrooms feature hardwood floors, handcrafted plaster ceilings, stately columns, sparkling crystal chandeliers and Palladian windows. Each ballroom has its own pre-function area, private catering kitchen, separate entrance, and restrooms. The Biltmore also features convenient
parking, a beautiful courtyard, and room for up to 1,500 guests. The ballrooms are ideal venues for corporate and social events, offering guests an elegant environment with regal charm. Originally built in 1924 as Atlanta’s premier hotel, the 11-story Biltmore Hotel emerged via a partnership between Atlanta’s William Candler and New York hotel mogul John McEntee Bowman. Candler financed the $6 million development with his share of the $25 million buyout of his father’s Coca-Cola empire. The Biltmore Hotel became the focal point of social life in Atlanta, hosting a wide variety of events from galas, wedding receptions, and high-society teas to civic meetings and local political fund-raisers.
