About this space

This cool, minimalist space is perfect for workshops, business events, and private celebrations. Your rental includes tables and chairs for up to 100 people, plus a podium for speakers or presenters. If you’re planning a celebration, choose a more party-ready set up with optional sound system, and we’ll arrange everything around the center dance floor.

The SoHo Room is located inside HI New York City hostel, which occupies one of the city’s last remaining buildings designed by “the Architect of the Gilded Age,” Richard Morris Hunt. Often described as “castle-like,” the enormous red brick building sits at 103rd and Amsterdam with easy access to the 1/2/3 and A/B/C subway lines. The hostel is run by Hostelling International USA (HI USA), a nationwide nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting peace through travel. By booking your event with us, you support our travel scholarships, cultural exchanges, and other educational programming.

While entrance to the SoHo Room is through the hostel lobby, your guests enjoy exclusive access to the SoHo Room and its dedicated private restroom.
