Sofitel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills, at 8555 Beverly Boulevard, has more than 10,000 sq ft of event space on its second floor, led by the 3,850 sq ft Beverly Ballroom for up to 400, plus a rooftop helipad. Above the Line provides audio, video, lighting and LED for meetings, galas and launches.
The hotel's second-floor event level pairs a divisible ballroom with meeting rooms and boardrooms, while the first floor adds a lounge bar, restaurant and patio. We size sound, video and lighting to each space from the hotel's own chart.
Room names, sizes and capacities come from the hotel's Events page at sofitel-los-angeles.com. Photos are the hotel's own. Production notes describe a typical Above the Line setup for each space.
The hotel's largest room, with floor-to-ceiling windows, divisible into Beverly Ballroom 1, 2 and 3.
Theater 400 · Reception 400 · Banquet 300 · Classroom 220
For a 300-guest gala in the Beverly Ballroom, we pair a center stage with two side screens and blackout-friendly projection, and wash the windowed walls with uplights once the sun goes down.
Three sections of the ballroom for general sessions and breakouts of up to 100 theater-style.
Reception 125 · Theater 100 · Banquet 80 · Classroom 65
For three simultaneous breakouts in the Beverly Ballroom sections, we give each its own projector, screen and wireless mic, and keep the audio isolated across the air walls.

Reception 300
For registration and a sponsor showcase in the Beverly Lounge, we add branded displays, ambient speakers and a check-in kiosk power run.
The Hollywood Room and Sunset Room combined, for theater seating or receptions of up to 150.
Theater 150 · Reception 150 · Banquet 120 · Classroom 90
With an 8 ft ceiling in the Sunset/Hollywood Room, we use bright flat-panel displays or a short-throw projector rather than a tall screen, with a lectern mic and ceiling-friendly speakers.
Two matching meeting rooms for theater seating of up to 75 each.
Theater 75 · Reception 75 · Banquet 60 · Classroom 45
For a training day in the Hollywood or Sunset Room, we set a display at the front, a wireless presenter and a speakerphone for remote callers.
A long, narrow room for theater seating of up to 50.
Theater 50 · Reception 50 · Banquet 36 · Classroom 30
Because the Santa Monica Room is long and narrow, we place a second display midway down the room so the back rows can read the slides.
Executive boardrooms for 20 and 15.
Boardroom 20 (Melrose) · 15 (Wilshire)
For a hybrid board meeting in the Melrose or Wilshire Boardroom, we add a camera bar and table mics to a display at the head of the table.
The second-largest event space, for receptions of up to 350 and banquets of up to 220.
Reception 350 · Banquet 220
For a launch party in the Auto Lounge, we build a DJ booth and a short stage, and add LED panels for brand content and moving lights for the dance floor.

For a Riviera 31 buyout, we tie into the room for a band or DJ, add a wireless mic for remarks and keep the lighting in the lounge's low-key style.
The first-floor patio, for receptions of up to 120 and banquets of up to 60.
Reception 120 · Banquet 60
For an evening reception on La Terrasse, we run weather-ready speakers along the patio and add warm uplighting and festoon-style ambience.
A rooftop helipad and deck with views from the Hollywood Sign to Downtown LA, used for ceremonies and photoshoots of up to 50.
Up to 50 guests
For a helipad ceremony, we bring battery-powered speakers and a wireless officiant mic, with no cables crossing the deck, and plan around the wind.
