History

The Bond Ballroom first opened its doors in 1921 in Hartford, Connecticut by hotelier Harry S. Bond. By 1965 it was sold and was the home of the Saint Francis Hospital School of Nursing. It wasn’t until 2001 that the Bond Ballroom opened again! So much history has been made here since then and we invite you to be a part of it!
