Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- With a stellar views of Lake Michigan, the city skyline, and Millennium Park, this central Loop hotel will be appreciated by locals and visitors alike. Once an exclusive private athletic club, it’s been lovingly restored and now welcomes everyone to experience its Italian Gothic grandeur.
- Choose between four (yes, four!) gorgeous event spaces, each boasting its own unique glamour. Opt for traditional elegance with the Madison or White City Ballrooms, with their opulent 19th-century details, or embrace something unexpected with a celebration in The Tank (once home to the Club’s indoor pool) or the Stagg Court—a working basketball court with gleaming wood floors and a dramatic, soaring ceiling.
- Whether they select a standard guest room or an aptly named “Holy Cow Suite”, your guests will be wrapped in comfort and style. Boasting vintage-inspired furnishings and luxe modern amenities, these accommodations are some of the best in the city.
