Hotel Double-Down – An Inside Look with our Developer

Crain’s Chicago takes an in-depth look with our developer: CEO and Founder of Oxford Capital John Rutledge.  John shares his development plans, why our rooftop bar (I|O Urban Roofscape) is a must and why the market can handle more hotels.  John provides a tour of both our hotel (great sneak peek!) and another project at 360 N. Michigan Avenue.

He also talks about his other hotel projects, including Hotel Felix, Hotel Cass, The Langham Chicago and the upcoming hotel at 360 N. Michigan. Take a look at the video:

Meet You At The Godfrey

Construction is plugging along for our meeting and event spaces, we’re excited to share that the 4th floor meeting and event space portion of our I|O Urban Roofscape encompasses 10,000 square feet. The indoor and outdoor space consists of 15,000 square feet. Whether planning a small executive retreat for 10, a training seminar for 100, or a reception for 750, we’re pleased to offer a chic and sophisticated event setting. Imagine the possibilities… perhaps a glamorous cocktail party with panoramic views of the Chicago skyline? Or a cutting-edge sales presentation in one of our two state-of-the-art conference rooms?

Below are construction photos of part of our indoor meeting and event space:
