The Carla Coray Galleria, named for a past Director of Auditoriums, is a prominent interior space at the Neal S. Blaisdell Center, serving as the formal entrance to the Exhibition Hall. The Galleria features a high, glass-enclosed design that allows natural light to fill the space through the azure blue windows, creating an open and welcoming environment for guests.
The Galleria provides direct access to adjacent venues, including the Pīkake Room and the Hawaiʻi Suites, supporting a flexible flow between event spaces. An upper level is accessible by both a glass elevator and a grand staircase, offering additional access and viewing areas.
The space is well-suited for receptions, gatherings, and pre-event functions, with its open layout and connection to surrounding venues allowing for a variety of event uses.
