Chris McDonough is Design Director at The Gettys Group, leading interior design for the guest rooms at The Godfrey Hotel Chicago. We spoke to him about where he started with the project, and about how he wanted guests to feel when they arrived at the hotel.
Q: What are some of your favorite features in the guest rooms?
A: From a guest experience and emotional response, my favorite aspect of the guest room is the overall feeling of sophisticated calm that the space provides. The subtle variance in the shower tile finish is a hidden design element that the guest can discover.
Q: Where did you start when designing the rooms? Or, what was the inspiration?
A: The boldness and the strength of the exterior architecture was obviously a design parameter that we had to consider. When considering the guest room design, our goal was to compliment the unique exterior but also provide an urban sanctuary for the guest from the energy of River North.
Q: What do you want guests to feel when they stay at The Godfrey Hotel Chicago?
A: We would like the guest to feel stylish and sophisticated, and that they have found a hidden, unique gem within the crowded Chicago hotel market.

Do you remember what The Godfrey Hotel Chicago’s guest rooms used to look like? We certainly do. Following is a #TBT photo from last September, before all the luxurious amenities and furnishings were installed.
But look how far we’ve come… Today’s #TBT post compares the before and after photos of our king guest rooms.
We have 221 stylish and contemporary rooms: 182 graciously-sized rooms, 12 Executive King Rooms and 27 One-Bedroom Suites. Extra amenities are key to luxurious travel and our rooms offer complimentary Wi-Fi, luxurious linens, a wet bar, iHome docking station, extra seating and more. As you can see from the photo above, the rooms are equipped with large work stations as well, including an ergonomic chair. When working on the road, it’s important to have both comfort and efficiency. To see more details on our rooms, please visit our website.
