Galaxy

An Elevated Setting for Stylish Events

Galaxy offers a unique and captivating event experience as the rooftop venue at ARK Hotel & Convention Centre. Functioning as both a restaurant and a private event space, it provides a stunning backdrop for gatherings of up to 100 guests. Perched atop the hotel, Galaxy presents panoramic views of the Palakkad cityscape, creating an atmosphere of exclusivity and sophistication that is unmatched by traditional indoor halls. This elevated setting is particularly magical in the evening, as the city lights begin to twinkle below, making it a premier choice for stylish cocktail receptions, corporate networking dinners, anniversary celebrations, and chic birthday parties. The ambiance is a significant departure from a standard banquet hall, offering guests a breath of fresh air and a memorable sensory experience. The design of the space typically incorporates both open-air and semi-covered sections, providing flexibility and some protection from the elements while still preserving the alfresco feel that is its main draw. The gentle evening breeze and the open sky add a natural, dynamic element to any event held here.

Curated Experiences with a View

As an event space, Galaxy is perfect for functions where atmosphere and social interaction are key. The layout is well-suited for a standing cocktail reception with high-top tables, allowing guests to mingle freely and take in the views. It can also be arranged for a seated dinner for a smaller group, creating an intimate and exclusive dining experience under the stars. The hotel's food and beverage team excels at crafting menus that complement the stylish setting, from elegant passed hors d'oeuvres and live cooking stations to sophisticated multi-course meals. The presence of a bar setup ensures that beverage service is seamless, with bartenders serving a range of cocktails, wines, and other drinks. The venue can be enhanced with ambient lighting, floral arrangements, and live music, such as a solo musician or a small band, to further elevate the mood. The hotel's event team works with planners to curate every detail, ensuring the event's theme is perfectly executed in this unique rooftop environment. Hosting an event at Galaxy is about creating a distinct and impressive experience that guests will talk about long after the evening is over.

A Premier Choice for Social and Corporate Networking

For corporate planners, Galaxy provides an exceptional setting for post-conference networking events, client appreciation dinners, or product launch after-parties. Moving a group from a formal conference in Aaryabhatta Hall to a relaxed reception at Galaxy offers a welcome change of pace and encourages informal interaction. The impressive setting serves as a natural conversation starter and reflects positively on the host organization. For social events, the venue offers a 'wow' factor that is hard to replicate. An engagement party or a 50th-anniversary dinner held at Galaxy feels special and distinct from the norm. Because Galaxy also operates as one of the hotel's primary dining outlets, booking it for a private event ensures access to the highest quality of food and service. Planners should note that its popularity as a restaurant means that private bookings, especially on weekends, may require advance planning and might be subject to minimum spend requirements. However, for those seeking to create a truly memorable and atmospheric event in Palakkad, the unique charm and stunning views of Galaxy make it an unparalleled choice.
