If you were asking about personal use I'd say Hunding's. It's fabulous.

For a guild though, factors like theme, alliance and practical considerations come into play. That's gonna be different for everyone. Presently I don't think any single one would work for me so I'd have to designate several large homes as guildhalls with different functions.

The Topal island or whatever it's called off the coast of ebonheart.

I've not visited it myself but I believe it's in Grahtwood.

Might be nice for pirates but it's very low brow. Paying real money for a bunch of rickety huts? No thanks. The datamined Khajiit one looks better. And they're probably sitting or working on islands with fancier architecture.

Word of caution to guild members being asked to donate so the guild leader can purchase a home and call it a guild hall.

The home is hers/his regardless of access provided. It cannot be transferred to another player. If the guild leader leaves the game or even the guild full and complete control is lost with them. Same thing with furnishings and crafting stations. They become part of the guild leaders games. Crafting stations will be much work in the begining.

Of course, if the guild leader or another member chooses to by one themselves and provide access then that is all fine.

@Giles.floydub17_ESO
Well, yes, they're not exactly guild halls as such, but the functionality exists to use them as such right now. It just depends on how much the guild trusts the guild leader, and how much the leader is committed to the guild

For example, for the "guild hall" that I'm planning to get for my guild, I'm thinking of including several nice furnishings as well as utility items such as crafting stations, and any other items requested by guild members. Everyone would have access to the home, and decorator privileges would be upon request.

At only 24 members other than yourself allowed to be in a house at one time, I don't think I would consider any of them guild halls. Unless that amount has been changed?

@Runs Yes, the limit of 24 members is frustratingly low right now, but it works out quite well for smaller guilds or small guild events. Guilds can always move to different locations for larger events, no shortage of space in Tamriel!

I plan on getting earthtear cavern. It's the perfect setting for an assassins guild. I'm going to build a dueling arena as well. Multi platform getting smaller so duel becomes more intense. Going to create a nice round table for my officers and I to have a meeting. Going to create a pen for all my awesome mounts that iv spent hundreds on. A shrine for my night mother statue along with a wonder torture room Guillotine and all. Going to line the walls with dark brotherhood banner. Line the path with glowing blue candles and braziers. My main entrance with its little mini bridge corridor is going to be lined with the tormented statues. Going to build a wonderful great hall next to the lake assassin themed for ceremonies and swearing into my guild. And of course no hall is complete without its trophy room to display our guilds multiple accomplishments. My guild is an assassins/ dueling guild. We shall be making our mark in cyrodil as we target the high profile players. We shall form emp busting hit squads hunting down the emperor every time he leaves his keep. We are the Black Blade Legion!

There is no Guild halls coming.

Serenity falls. Everyone in guild gets decorator perms, and I'm just going to dump a ton of furnishings in the shed and see what happens. Should be a delightful mess.

My oldest guild has been fundraising for one but we haven't decided which one yet. (People who donate vote for the one they want.) We're also trying to hammer out perks for donors.

Been considering this. There are a number of problems with purchasing these things as guild halls.

1. It will be a person not a guild that will have ownership of the house. People join/leave guilds all the time, including sometimes officers/GMs.
2. Eso+, different crafting abilities etc means that you would have to pick an extrememly active member/GM to own the housing
3. Same issue with permissions + adding things to the house/manor.

It basically becomes one guy loaning his house to the guild and so you could never get people to contribute towards it or have a true guild hall
