Corporate & brand event venue in DTLA
Launch nights, team parties and branded takeovers with your visuals on the LED wall.
The Catwalk Club is a go-to room for international brands' private events. Brands that have booked the room include HBO, Netflix, Red Bull, Spotify, Samsung, NBC, BET, FX Networks, MTV Studios, VH1, Puma, Urban Decay, eBay, LA Fashion Week. It's the former boiler room of the 1920s Bank of America headquarters, at 698 Harlem Pl in Downtown LA's Historic Core: about 5,500 sq ft, multi-level, with a centerpiece catwalk and a DJ deck over the dance floor.
That combination works for brand activations, product launches, fashion shows, team parties and client nights: a room with a story, and production already in the ceiling.
