Photo & video production
A location for photo and video production
Commercial shoots, brand content and interviews, with chandeliered lounges, a Parisian-style bar, a rooftop terrace and a podcast studio under one roof.
Empire’s interiors give a production a range of looks in one location: the red Chesterfield on the checkered floor for moody portraits, the Louvre bar’s carved front and marble counter for lifestyle and product work, the rooftop at golden hour, and the podcast studio for interviews.
Weekday daytime works best for production. Send us your date, crew size and shot list, and we’ll suggest rooms.
- Dark, chandeliered lounges
- The Louvre bar and marble counters
- Rooftop terrace and garden patio for daylight
- Podcast studio for interviews
