MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Nestled within the storied walls of the PNB Financial Center along Diosdado Macapagal Avenue in Pasay City lies one of Metro Manila’s most distinguished and architecturally remarkable event spaces – The Grand Atrium. Formerly known as The Banking Hall, this refined venue seamlessly merges heritage and grandeur with modern functionality, emerging as a premier destination for events of exceptional caliber.
Strategically located just minutes from the World Trade Center and the bustling Bay Area entertainment district, The Grand Atrium is uniquely positioned to host high-profile functions. Its imposing scale, capable of accommodating up to 1,000 guests combined with its soaring ceilings, stately heritage columns, and sophisticated finishes, creates a venue that elevates any occasion into a momentous experience.
“The Grand Atrium is more than just a venue. It’s a destination. Its scale, design, and location create an atmosphere that inspires and impresses,” said Joselito R. Consunji, Chief Operating Officer of PNB Holdings Corporation (PHC).
Originally serving as the hub of executive banking operations for the Philippine National Bank, the hall’s legacy imparts a sense of gravitas and history. Today, it has been thoughtfully revitalized to meet the demands of modern hosting while retaining the elegance of its past. Enhanced with state-of-the-art lighting, flexible staging options and modular seating, The Grand Atrium is designed to accommodate a broad spectrum of events from formal galas and product launches to intimate gatherings and corporate assemblies.
