Guest Experience – Page 8 – Building The Godfrey

Amenity Announcement

One important aspect of building The Godfrey includes selecting the best washroom amenities that most closely align with our property’s brand. It’s a decision that’s based upon a variety of factors and extensive industry research. Not surprisingly, The Washington Post reports that high end bath amenities are a key distinguishing factor that separate luxury properties from budget hotels. When the time came to determine the brand that would supply our bath amenities we wanted a name that future customers would trust; a company whose products are luxurious, indulgent and of the utmost quality. We’re pleased to announce the supplier of our bath amenities is…

I|O – Our Urban Oasis

The construction of I|O is well underway; we’re eagerly anticipating the day our swanky urban roofscape makes its big debut. Here are some progress photos thus far:

Can you spot the window washers?

I|O’s stunning unobstructed skyline view

Here they are!

And our vision to come:

From shimmering water elements and fire pits to panoramic skyline views, we conceptualized I|O to be a plush oasis of urban glamour. Whether you’re indulging in after work cocktails or planning a private event of up to 400 guests, you’ll toast to the uniqueness that is I|O. This chic 7,000 square foot urban escape is named for it’s indoor and outdoor ambiance; it’s truly the best of both worlds. For more on I|O, including details on the state-of-the-art retractable roof and more, please visit our website.

Let There Be Paint

On this #SiteVisit Friday we have a peek at a painted accent wall in one of our guest rooms. The color is a matte charcoal gray and will nicely contrast against the future ivory faux crocodile wall treatment while complimenting the flooring (photos below):

Stay tuned for more design updates!

Big Changes #sitevisitgodfrey

It has been a while since we last posted a #sitevisitgodfrey post and wanted to keep you all up on the progress. We have been busy on the property replicating the work completed on the lower floors in the building interior with framing, plumbing, etc… for the guest room floors. We now have all the guest room floors from 5 through 16 being worked on.

As you have noticed if you walked by the hotel that the outer paneling of the building has been going up incredibly fast. We now have windows on the guest room floors and windows on the east and west walls being installed. The building on the North/South sides will have a total of 307 operable windows! The West side of the building facing LaSalle will have windows on the entire side from the ground floor up to 16. We have started the process on floor 5 to enclose the guest room floors first.

A big part of a hotel building project as I have stated is working in phases and now most phases are in full motion. Check out most of the update pictures below and enjoy some unique shots of the building.
