The Grand Lobby provides the most function space for larger receptions and banquets, featuring rich colors and elegant lobby furniture. It is open to the Kreielsheimer Promenade Lobby below connected by a sweeping grand red staircase, and often these two lobbies are used together. The Grand Lobby provides an elegant setting for events with speaker presentations, as the presenter can be featured in front of the dramatic backdrop of the atrium's glass wall and wash of colors from the lighted courtyard display.
