The Terrace Room
The Terrace Room

Welcome! You have just found Oakland’s best kept secret.  The Terrace Room is known to many as a little gem, tucked inside The Lake Merritt Hotel with panoramic views of the mesmerizing Lake Merritt. The beautiful, Art Deco building was built in 1927.  Then it was a trendy hot spot, featuring Big Bands and dancing, including Count Basie.  Today, we specialize in weddings, but host other celebrations as well. Recently, we won Best Wedding Venue by the East Bay Express in 2022.   Our panoramic view encompasses the blue-green of Lake Merritt and the lush Oakland hills. A special treat for evening events is the Necklace of Lights, which is a chain of lights on ornate Victorian light poles that surround the entire lake.
