The Bay Tower Room opened in the mid-90s. Designed by architect Thomas Hara, it served as the main event space for the Bay Tower building. The 35 story building is home to some of Boston’s most successful businesses like BioGen, George Little Management and Converse. Prior to being an event space, The Bay Tower Room was a banquet hall. The building is located in the Fort Point Channel neighborhood of downtown Boston across from Massport’s headquarters.
