Renting Guild Hall

Thank you for your interest in renting our space. Guild Hall currently remains closed as a venue due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are keeping a very close eye on the NYC and NYS reopening guidelines for indoor arts & entertainment businesses, as well as on the guidelines being provided by organizations such as Actors Equity. We look forward to being able to safely welcome you into our space at a future date.

Centrally located on 29th Street between Fifth and Madison Avenue, historic Guild Hall is located on the second floor of the landmarked Little Church Around The Corner.  This unique private room is warm and inviting with carpeted floors, vaulted ceilings, and air-conditioning.
