Bohemian National Hall is a seat of

the Consulate General of the Czech Republic,

Czech Center

and Bohemian Benevolent and Literary Association.

The five-story building was designed by William C. Frohne in the Renaissance Revival style, built in 1896. It is a rare survivor of the social halls built in the nineteenth century for New York City's immigrant ethnic communities.

The Bohemian National Hall has been an important center for Czech and Slovak culture in New York City for more than one hundred years. Since the beginning, it has served as a focal point for its community, offering ethnic food, Czech language and history classes and space for its large community meetings and various events. Today, the Bohemian National Hall represents a significant reminder of a major working-class ethnic enclave which once flourished in Yorkville and stands as a very visible representative of an important aspect of immigrant history in New York City and the United States.

In 2001, ownership of the Bohemian National Hall was transferred from the Bohemian Benevolent & Literary Association (BBLA) to the Czech Republic. To emphasize the link with the Czech Republic, the building now shares its premises with the Consulate General and the Czech Center. The BBLA uses the entire third floor.

After the grand re-opening in October 2008, the Bohemian National Hall has truly become a common space not only for presenting Czech culture, trade and tourism in the U.S. but also for organizing a variety of events outside the Czech community. The phenomenal ballroom with a capacity of 300, has retained its original glory and with other modern multifunctional rooms in the Hall, provides a unique setting and atmosphere for your events.
