The Barbara McNitt Ballroom
This was the Hotel Del Monte’s dining room, described as “palatial”, in the 1926 commemorative edition of Keeler’s Hotel Weekly. The ornate fountain combines unique and skillful artisanship with the utmost of design in inlaid mosaic-patterned tiling. Five magnificent chandeliers grace the ornate Spanish ceiling casting a candlelight glow throughout the room. Hotel Del Monte's dining room was elegant in all respects, and even served hundreds of aviation cadets and Sailors in quick meals during World War II. The Barbara McNitt Ballroom accommodates groups of 150 to 600 seated and up to 1,000 for a standing reception.
El Prado Dining Room
The El Prado Room, originally the Grill Room, was designed for late night dining, dancing, and special events. Circus Night, Orient night, and A Surrealistic Night in an Enchanted Forest were hosted in this room by Salvador Dalí and Templeton Crocker, the nephew of Charles Crocker (Founder of Hotel Del Monte). This room provides a cherry wood dance floor, beautiful chandeliers, wall sconces, and soft arches. The El Prado Dining Room accommodates groups of 75-150.
La Novia Room
The La Novia Room was initially called the Copper Cup Room. It was renamed after artist Jo Mora completed his masterpiece La Novia diorama in 1939. La Novia also served as a library in World War II. The detail that went into this room is remarkable. From its hand painted beams to its sculpture wood trim, this room accommodates groups of 25-90.
