With The Godfrey Hotel Chicago now open, we wanted to share with you some updated photos from the guest rooms! No matter the type of room you book with us, you’ll always find a place to relax, and a place to work (if you need it). Look forward to luxurious towels and spa products in the bathrooms, too.
We’re thrilled to share a new update on the opening of our hotel. This morning, Mayor Rahm Emanuel celebrated the opening of The Godfrey Hotel Chicago (127 W. Huron St. at LaSalle St.), the 16-story, 221 room boutique hotel located in Chicago’s River North neighborhood. Mayor Emanuel, along with Hotel Manager Jermaine Anderson and Oxford Capital President and CEO John Rutledge, provided media and guests with an overview of the launch of the luxury lifestyle brand in Chicago, which brings more than 150 new jobs to the area.
The Mayor also was guided through a tour of our premiere property and learned how our hotel brings our tagline “Discover Your Element” to life.
The Godfrey Hotel opened its doors on Feb. 1, 2014 and is managed by Oxford Hotels & Resorts, LLC. The Godfrey Hotel is currently taking reservations at a rate of $159, non-inclusive of tax and gratuity with subject to change closer to opening.

Headboards are here! We take a good night’s sleep very seriously here at The Godfrey Hotel, so we’re currently putting together dream-like guest rooms complete with stylish details to make your stay with us that much more comfortable. Stay tuned to see what they look like in the rooms!
Today, we conducted a site visit to check out the latest and greatest at the hotel. With so many changes happening, we could hardly decide where to focus. But, we reflect back on the female guests and frequent travelers who we surveyed and questioned months ago about their travel preferences.
We consistently heard three requests for amenities in the room:
We can now say: Check, check and check.
First, we learned many ladies (and likely our gentleman too) want a full length mirror in the hotel room. We certainly understand – even when you’re on the road, you still want to look stylish. Here’s a look at the full length mirror:
Second, we know bathroom products matter. Guests love quality products and L’Occitane delivers nothing short of a “beauty phenomenon,” as we’ve heard others say. We previously blogged about how excited we are to offer these products in our guest bathrooms – you can view the blog post here.
Last, for the counter space, we heard many female (frequent) travelers say they preferred the extra counter space in the bathroom. The extra space allows them to set up their hair products and tools, along with their makeup bags and other needs. The extra space (shown below) allows for at least two people to easily share the space with their travel kits and make up.
Enjoy, ladies! And we know the male travelers won’t mind either. Enjoy, all!
