With its grandeur dating back to 1929, this architectural masterpiece was meticulously designed in the Art Deco style, a hallmark of that era.

The Gillespie stands as a beacon of elegance, ready to host the most stylish weddings, intimate social gatherings, memorable charitable galas, and dynamic corporate events.
