This is the larger of the two formal dining areas in the White House, both of which are located on the State or first floor. This regal dining hall is used for receptions, luncheons and formal dinners commonly known as state dinners for visiting heads of state. With seating for 140 guests, this is the official Presidential dining room.

The Oval Office

Arguably the most iconic and famous room in the whole of White House, the Oval Office is where the President carries out his daily duties in leading the United States. The room is open to three south-facing windows and features a fireplace as well as gorgeous views of the White House lawns. The Oval Office décor is usually not the same for each President as the room is often converted to completely suit the President’s taste and comfort.

Family Theater

In 1942 when the current East Wing building was built was when the family theater was converted from a long cloakroom. The room has about 40 well-upholstered seats, set behind four big armchairs formerly installed by Dwight Eisenhower. For several years in the past, the decor was mainly white curtains with a red floral design, but in 2004, it got a makeover in red. The room is sometimes used to rehearse major speeches, like the State of the Union address each January, but much more often, it is used by the first family in indulging a movie of their choice screened at any time of day and night for themselves and their guests, often sent direct from Hollywood before its release.
