Rent the perfect baby shower venue in Manhattan

Alice’s Tea Cup is as themed as it gets without feeling theatrical. Located on the Upper West Side, this Alice-in-Wonderland-inspired tearoom mixes vintage décor, mismatched china, and playful touches like fairy wings for kids. It’s especially popular for baby showers and children’s birthdays.

Private events can be hosted in rooms that seat between 20 and 40 guests depending on the location. Menus include finger sandwiches, scones, and a broad range of teas, with champagne or prosecco available upon request. Vegetarian and gluten-free options are offered, and the prix-fixe menus keep planning simple.

Location05, on 11th Avenue in Hudson Yards, is a flexible, studio-style venue that attracts planners who want a lot of control over the look and feel of their event. The all-white interiors, industrial windows, and polished concrete floors give it a gallery-like atmosphere with room to build.

There are five main spaces available for hire across 10,000 square feet, with a standing capacity of up to 200 guests. The venue includes a prep kitchen, freight elevator, lounge seating, and Wi-Fi. It’s ideal for baby showers where you want to bring in your own décor, caterer, or production team.

The Mark Hotel offers a more traditional approach to celebrating. This five-star property near Central Park includes several private dining and salon spaces—like the Madison Room—which can seat up to 22 guests for lunch or dinner.

Interiors are designed by Jacques Grange, with an emphasis on Art Deco flourishes and contemporary elegance. Private dining menus are customized and can accommodate dietary preferences, including non-alcoholic pairings. The hotel’s profile rose further when Meghan Markle hosted her 2019 baby shower in the penthouse suite.

The Lofts at Prince sits in SoHo and blends exposed brick, oversized windows, and soft furnishings into a space that feels more residential than industrial. It’s part event venue, part lifestyle shoot location, and the aesthetic leans clean but cozy.

Capacity varies by layout but generally holds up to 50 guests for seated events. Hosts can rent individual rooms or the full space, including a rooftop terrace. There’s a full kitchen on-site and modular furniture for flexible setups, whether you’re planning a light brunch or a more formal seated gathering.

If the guest list is long and the vibe is upscale, The Glasshouse delivers. Located at 660 12th Avenue, this high-ceilinged venue features wraparound views of the Hudson River and Manhattan skyline. Interiors are minimalist, with floor-to-ceiling windows and modular partitions that allow for different configurations.

The venue spans over 75,000 square feet and can host events from 50 to 1,850 guests. It includes two outdoor terraces, private lounges, and dedicated green rooms. Full A/V, catering partnerships, and an on-site planning team make it suitable for larger baby showers with a more formal format.
