Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- As you walk through the iconic bell-tower entrance of this extraordinary hotel, you're transported to a world of timeless romance. Beauty is everywhere in the form of fountains, statues, carved pillars, balconies, spiral staircases, and gardens—as well as in the unique event spaces, which include two on-site chapels and a dozen reception sites, each exuding European charm and fairy-tale magic.
- Ceremonies are breathtaking in the St. Francis of Assisi Chapel, exquisitely embellished with seven jewel-toned Tiffany stained-glass windows and a gleaming, 18-karat gold leafed altar from the mid 1700s. Follow with a gorgeous reception in the Grand Parisian Ballroom, which boasts sumptuous details like damask draperies and spectacular crystal chandeliers suspended from the original beamed ceiling.
- The Spanish Art Gallery is richly appointed with regal 17th-century European décor, accentuating the venue's impressive marble staircase, flowing ceiling canopy, and elegant gold palette. For another intimate option, reserve the charming Santa Barbara Room, where traditional wrought-iron and glass light fixtures create a cozy ambiance, and sheer drapes diffuse the light from tall windows overlooking the picturesque interior courtyard of the Hotel and the Oriental Court.
