Boutique Event Space in Olympia, Washington

Celebrate, hold a meeting, or stage a retreat in the timeless elegance of Olympia’s Swantown Inn, featuring the Grand Victorian Ballroom.

Our new event venue, the Grand Victorian Ballroom, can accommodate up to 62 people. It features a bar area, serving espresso and baked goods. We can also offer catering solutions for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. We have relationships with a number of local caterers, bakers and other vendors.

An Intimate Ballroom Experience

Our event space, the Grand Victorian Ballroom, can accommodate up to 60 people. It features a bar area, serving espresso. We can also organize catering your wedding or provide you with a list of local trusted caterers. The ballroom was built in 2018, but it emulates the charm and history of the rest of the Inn.

The ballroom can cater to your audio visual needs also. Wi-Fi is provided as part of your rental fee. The Ballroom is also ADA, with an ADA bathroom, access ramp and parking space. Those modern touches are often a pleasant surprise.
