Charles Ballroom
a stately venue
When The Belvedere first opened in 1903, the Charles Ballroom was simply known as the “Main Dining Room.” It operated as such until the 1950’s when it was renamed the Charles Ballroom and became a fine dining supper club. Live music floated through the room and war-time guests dined on Baltimore’s finest cuisine, sipped sherry, and danced the jitterbug adorned in their evening finest.
