Venue - The Ballroom at The Alexandria

The LA Tangothon will take place centrally at one of Downtown Los Angeles’ most notable landmarks, THE ALEXANDRIA. Built in 1906, and formerly one of the premier hotels in the country, The Alexandria played host to numerous Hollywood legends including Charlie Chaplin, Humphrey Bogart, Mae West, Rudolph Valentino, Clark Gable, and Greta Garbo. Winston Churchill and several U.S. Presidents were also guests. The Palm Court Ballroom has been called "the most beautiful room in Los Angeles."The historic ballroom featurs a stunning stained-glass Tiffany skylight, and it embodies the grandeur and glamour of Los Angeles’ by-gone era. Dance the night...… and day....… and night away. With the Los Angeles Grand Union Station less than 2 miles away and plenty of hotels and restaurants within walking distance, and close to the freeways, The Alexandria is the perfect location to host the first LA Tangothon!THE PALM COURT BALLROOMat The Alexandria501 South Spring Street, First Floor,Los Angeles, CA 90013Plenty of street parking and $5 parking lots on this street.
