The news is buzzing about our opening next year! We’re thrilled with the recent coverage in Chicago Magazine‘s e-newsletter, “Chicago Travel”. You may view the story here. We also had exciting coverage in Boutique Design and Curbed Chicago.
Two other stories we’d love to highlight are from CS Modern Luxury and Passport Magazine:
We’re pleased to unveil the official website of The Godfrey Hotel Chicago: http://www.godfreyhotelchicago.com.
Our website was designed to give viewers a preview of, what will be, the signature Godfrey experience and help you feel like You’re In Your Element.
Take a virtual tour of our property via our site and you’ll see details on our high-end amenities and the I|O urban roofscape, photos and renderings of the property and much more. We’re thrilled to debut our website – let us know what you think.
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.

ENJOY YOUR MEMORIAL WEEKEND!
We have some great stuff coming for Monday. We did not walk our site today as we put the final touches on our model guest room so check out the video to see a little of the build out, also here are a few teaser pics of pieces in the guest room.
A quick stop at the property today to peak around and we wanted to share with you our new signage of the property which reveals a little inside look at the hotel interior design. There are renderings of our lobby, a guest room and our fourth floor indoor lounge area. We will post more photos on Monday of the hotel as we will be walking the property when the weather is a little less wet.
We have had some great progress on the exterior metal panels being installed and even have two small sections with windows on the north side of the building, so stay tuned.
We hope you all have a great weekend and if you are in River North near Huron St at LaSalle, swing by and have a look at our new signage.
