Palm Court, Historic ballroom in Downtown Los Angeles, United States

The Palm Court features a grand Tiffany stained-glass skylight ceiling, crystal chandeliers, and ornate architectural details within the Alexandria Hotel building.

The Palm Court, which opened in 1911, served as Los Angeles' primary social gathering space, hosting speeches by Presidents Taft and Wilson until 1923.

The ballroom attracted numerous Hollywood stars and performers, including dancer Anna Pavlova and actor Rudolph Valentino during the early 1900s.

Located in downtown Los Angeles, the Palm Court space now functions as part of an apartment complex with regular ballet performances by the Blankenship Ballet Company.

The room transformed from an elite social venue to a boxing training facility during its decline before receiving historical monument status in 1971.
