The Barbershop at The Blackstone

Out of the collection of function rooms at The Blackstone, this space may hold the most secrets of all. Named after its original purpose, The Barbershop was requested by the likes of Richard Nixon and Al Capone, who had a hatch installed to hide his liquor during Prohibition. This iconic 1,117-square-foot space is laden in marble and features intricate wall details, suspended ceilings, and Greek columns.
