Preposition At + Place and/or At + The + Place

English Language & Usage Asked by user281390 on September 1, 2020

I know that I can use this structure:

I AM + AT + THE + NAME OF THE PLACE + TYPE OF PLACE

For instance, I can say:

  • I’m at the Empire State Building
  • I’m at the Hilton Hotel

However, can we remove the article THE before the name of the place?
For instance, can I say:

  • Join us at Paris University for this great event
  • Book your room at Hyatt Paris now
  • We will host an event at Accord Arena in Paris

One Answer

The preposition is just at -- the rest is a separate part of the sentence.

The need for an article, definite (the), indefinite (a) or none, depends on the noun or noun clause that follows, not on the preposition.
