Wrap parties for movie shoots, holiday parties, launch parties, fashion week soirees, and boozy brunches. Parties are Maxwell’s specialty. We’ve hosted premier celebrations for CAA, Tommy Hilfiger.

Since opening in April 2023, Maxwell has established itself as the go-to venue for industry celebrations that matter. We've hosted numerous events, including a Chanel Photoshoot, CAA's Tony's Party, Tommy Hilfiger, The New York Times, Andy Roddick & One White Street, Spotify, Netflix, Anna Wintour with Jonathan Cohen, Matt Damon with Elevate — each event becoming part of our growing legacy.

The art of entertaining, not entertainment

Maxwell's approach to parties draws inspiration from our namesake, Elsa Maxwell, the legendary society hostess who understood that "entertaining, not entertainment," was the secret to unforgettable gatherings. She'd get high society to dress up in ridiculous costumes, she'd dance in can-can lines, and have trained seals at her parties at the Waldorf Astoria — embodying the kind of theatrical celebration that Maxwell continues today.

Where dinner parties turn into dance parties

Maxwell encourages a "no work, all play" environment. Unlike a lot of cities' older clubs, where members keep to themselves, our space is designed for connection and spontaneous celebration. The large sun-lit space includes a kitchen counter and all the party essentials you might need to throw a special event. We even noticed a soda fountain.

During New York Fashion Week, Maxwell hosted parties, thrown by Tommy Hilfiger and The Cut, transforming our rooms into epicenters of fashion industry celebration. Hidden away in the downstairs, you will find liquor lockers, a pool table and a speakeasy-inspired space for more entertaining.

The complete celebration experience

From CAA's Tony Party to intimate gatherings with Anna Wintour and Jonathan Cohen, Maxwell doesn't just host events — we create the backdrop for industry moments that resonate beyond the night itself. Each celebration becomes woven into the fabric of New York's creative community, where the next collaboration, the next breakthrough, the next cultural shift takes shape over perfectly crafted cocktails and conversations that last until dawn.

Whether you're wrapping a film, launching a brand, or simply celebrating life's finest moments, Maxwell provides the stage where your story becomes part of our shared legend.
