Biltmore Room at Grand Central Terminal

The Biltmore Room, formerly known as the 'Kissing Room', is a historic space located in the Northwest corner of Grand Central Terminal's main upper level. This charming venue served as a meeting point for travelers reuniting with loved ones, particularly soldiers returning home. The room is named after the former Biltmore Hotel, which operated from 1913 to 1981. The Biltmore Room features preserved elements such as the original chalkboard arrivals board and offers a direct connection to the 22 Vanderbilt commercial office building. It is complemented by the cheerful presence of the popular Damselfly Flower shop along its south wall, making it an inviting space for various events. With escalators providing direct access to Grand Central Madison and Long Island Rail Road services, the Biltmore Room is a unique venue for gatherings, receptions, and corporate events.
