PLEASE ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE MYSELF

THE END OF BUSINESS AS USUAL

Thanks to rock ‘n’ roll, things haven’t been the same. Rock gave us the green light to ignore convention and allowed us to be different; to transform “cool” from being just a setting on the thermostat into the mentality of how we live our lives and, yes, even conduct business. Stretching 40 stories tall in the heart of downtown Chicago, hotel guests will find a musically-inspired atmosphere where Art Deco meets the art of hospitality. Stylish and forward thinking, our contemporary ambiance blends seamlessly within the walls of the iconic Carbide & Carbon Building, a historic Burnham masterpiece fashioned from green terra cotta and black polished granite.

Here, business meetings with a hip, sophisticated attitude give life to new ideas. Intimate luxury, endless amenities and attentive service rock your expectations of what a business meeting can be.

Ergonomic Herman Miller chairs surround ultra-sleek frosted glass boardroom tables with flat panel 42” TVs wall-mounted at the front of each room. If they don’t have everything you want, we can get it.
