When natural light floods the space, Maxwell becomes something entirely different

Our 5,800‑square‑foot Tribeca brownstone—with high ceilings and abundant daylight—transforms into a workspace imbued with hospitality and calm.

Days here are shaped for productivity and connection, not just booking hours.

Whether you're hosting a breakfast presentation for twelve or a lunch panel for forty, Maxwell removes the friction of traditional corporate venues.

Our club boasts fully equipped, chef-ready kitchens, beautifully designed interiors with hand-painted wallpaper, creating an atmosphere of ownership and camaraderie.

Our spaces have been featured in New Yorker Magazine, Elle Decor, and Town & Country.

WHAT WE OFFER

Corporate Events & Offsites

Since opening in April 2023, we've hosted daytime programming for The New York Times, Spotify, Netflix, and others—teams who understand that space impacts the way people work and interact.

Team-Building Workshops

Two fully equipped kitchens allow for hands-on sessions—pasta-making, cocktail-building, group lunches cooked together from scratch. A format that brings teams closer, without the usual icebreakers.

Panels & Speaking Events

Maxwell is well-suited for founder talks, roundtables, and panels. From seated discussions to multi-room flows, we’ve hosted industry events designed for active listening, not passive attendance.

Private Breakfasts & Lunches

Because some of the best ideas still come over a meal. Whether you’re hosting investors, a department head, or your full team, our setting encourages conversation that lasts longer than the food.

An intimate setup designed for connection, made memorable by details that never feel corporate.

THE SPACE

Antiques, custom lighting, and hand-finished walls make the space feel lived-in, never staged. It’s not a backdrop, it’s part of the experience.

Guests can cook, serve, and gather like they would at home. One kitchen opens into the Grand Room, the other into the Garden Room, allowing flexibility for different styles of service.

THE MAXWELL DIFFERENCE

This isn't about impressing clients — it's about creating conditions for your best work. When you host at Maxwell, you're not just booking a venue. You're investing in the idea that environment shapes outcomes, that beauty inspires creativity, and that when people feel at home, they show up as their fullest selves.

Because the rules really are different when you're home.
