Step inside the ballroom, a breathtaking 20,000-square-foot space recognized as the world's largest circular room without supporting pillars. Stroll along the outdoor promenade for stunning views overlooking the serene Avalon Bay and the inviting Descanso Beach. It's a glimpse into a bygone era and a feast for the senses.
