Sheraton Grand Los Angeles, at 711 South Hope Street in downtown Los Angeles, has 26,729 sq ft of event space, including the 10,000 sq ft California Ballroom for up to 900 guests. Above the Line provides audio, video, lighting and LED for conferences, galas and meetings across the hotel.
In the Financial District, the hotel pairs the California Ballroom with a floor of meeting rooms named for LA theaters. We size sound, video and lighting to each room from the hotel's own chart.
Room names, sizes and capacities come from the hotel's Events page at marriott.com. Photos are the hotel's own. Production notes describe a typical Above the Line setup for each space.
The hotel's ballroom, for general sessions and receptions of up to 900 and dinners of up to 700.
Theater 900 · Reception 900 · Banquet 700 · Schoolroom 500
For a 900-seat general session in the California Ballroom, we set a center screen with two side screens, and use the 16 ft ceiling to fly the speakers and lights.
Sections A–F combine into a range of mid-size rooms, from a single salon to four.
California A/B/D/E: Theater 600 · Banquet 480 · Reception 400
When the ballroom splits for concurrent sessions, we give each section its own projector, screen and audio, and check the airwalls for sound bleed.
Pre-function space outside the ballroom, for receptions of up to 300.
Reception 300
For registration and a reception in the California Foyer, we set digital signage at the doors and background music on small speakers.
The largest of the hotel's meeting rooms, for receptions and banquets of up to 200.
Reception 200 · Banquet 200 · Theater 180 · Schoolroom 150
For a 180-seat session in the Wiltern Room, we put two screens on the long wall, so every row has a clear sightline under the 10 ft ceiling.
Two meeting rooms named for downtown theaters, for sessions of up to 150.
El Capitan: Theater 150 · Reception 150 · Banquet 120 · Schoolroom 80
For a breakout in El Capitan, we use a single projector and screen, a podium mic and two wireless handhelds for questions.
Smaller rooms for breakouts, board meetings and working lunches.
Oviatt: Theater 50 · Reception 45 · Banquet 40 · Conference 24
For a board meeting in Oviatt, we add one display and a conference camera bar, so remote attendees can join.
All figures come from the capacity chart on the hotel's Events page.
