ILA Penthouse & Rooftop Garden is a modern private event venue perched above Chelsea at 253 W 28th St, offering a polished penthouse loft paired with a lush open-air rooftop garden. The full-floor space blends loft-style architecture—expansive windows, polished floors, and clean lines—with an intimate landscaped terrace that frames sweeping Manhattan skyline views. Designed for both social celebrations and corporate functions, the venue supports seated dinners, cocktail receptions, product launches, off-sites, and milestone gatherings with seamless indoor–outdoor flow. Private dining is fully customizable through preferred catering partners, with menus commonly spanning contemporary American and globally inspired cuisines—think seasonal canapés, raw bars, chef-attended carving or pasta stations, plated multi-course dinners, and late-night bites—alongside curated bar packages. The Penthouse’s bright, open plan adapts to banquet rounds, long kings tables, or theater-style presentations, while the Rooftop Garden is ideal for golden-hour receptions, al fresco ceremonies, or open-air after-parties. A robust AV setup (Wi‑Fi, house sound, microphones, projection/screen options) and dimmable lighting support speeches, brand moments, and live entertainment; an on-site prep kitchen streamlines service with outside vendors welcomed (standard COI requirements). Guests arrive via elevator to a private floor with dedicated restrooms, coat check, and a built-in bar. Event teams praise the attentive onsite coordination, smooth vendor load-in, and flexible floor plans that suit intimate dinners for 20 as well as full buyouts for larger guest counts. Set in the heart of Chelsea—close to transit, hotels, and creative hubs—ILA Penthouse & Rooftop Garden delivers an elevated, indoor–outdoor canvas for sophisticated private dining and memorable city-view events.
