The Ruins

Once an exclusive dining club, this Lower Queen Anne venue hosts events among hand-painted murals and a secret library.
Description
Across an 11,000-square-foot interior, the venue preserves an eclectic collection of art and antiques, highlighted by a life-size animatronic elephant from the 1931 Paris World Exhibition. Events unfold across five distinct spaces, connecting a grand-fireplaced dining room with French doors to an atrium, a moody lounge, a dimly lit courtyard, and a ballroom crowned by six gold-and-crystal chandeliers. The layout accommodates up to 150 seated guests for a reception or 300 standing.
