Built in the 1920s as an ice manufacturing plant, Ice Palace Studios has become one of Miami’s most sought-after event and production venues. It sits at 1400 North Miami Avenue, between Downtown, Wynwood and Miami Beach. Behind its historic walls are vast black-box stages, gallery-style rooms and lush tropical gardens, with room for up to 8,000 guests.
The venue has hosted Art Basel and Miami Fashion Week, and it has appeared in films such as Bad Boys and Miami Vice. Its raw, flexible spaces suit an intimate private dinner as well as a grand gala.
Thierry Isambert Culinary & Event Design has a long history at Ice Palace, from Miami Fashion Week to Art Basel dinners and NFL Super Bowl celebrations. We handle every element of your event: refined French-inspired cuisine, bar service, design and full event production.
EVENT SPACES
1: THE EAST BUILDING | A BLANK CANVAS ON A GRAND SCALE
The East Building is a dramatic black-box environment with 18-foot ceilings. It can be transformed completely, with lighting, staging and décor building any world your event calls for, so no two events here look the same.
Stages 1 & 2: 35,000 sq. ft.
Stage 3: 4,500 sq. ft.
Capacity for up to 8,000 guests across the venue
All-black stages, ideal for lighting design, staging and immersive builds
Suited to concerts, galas, trade shows, conventions, fashion shows and large-scale brand experiences
Our production team works with your vision from the floor plan to the final toast. We design seated dinners for hundreds, interactive food stations and multi-bar layouts that keep large crowds moving with ease.
2: THE WEST BUILDING | INDOOR - OUTDOOR ELEGANCE
The West Building has a more intimate, gallery-like character. Its interconnected rooms have tall white walls and high ceilings, and they open onto a private patio and a lush back garden. Signature art pieces, including a statement chandelier and a blown-glass wall, give the space personality, while leaving it free to be styled for your event.
40,000 sq. ft. of indoor and outdoor space
5,000 sq. ft. black-box clubroom for lounges, performances and late-night parties
Private patio, tropical garden and outdoor lounge

The flowing layout is ideal for events that unfold in stages. Guests can start with cocktails in the garden, move to a seated dinner in the gallery rooms, and finish dancing in the clubroom. The on-site kitchens let our chefs serve every course at its best.
