We just love every little detail that goes into the planning of a hotel – one no less important than the next. Today we’re happy to share the latest update from our #SiteVisit – the soundproofing on the fourth floor.
Why? Well we’re glad you asked. Once we’re open, the fourth floor will be the happening home to I|O Urban Roofscape. This swanky spot is a captivating escape for guests and Chicagoans and we certainly will be mindful of any noise.
To accommodate that, we are installing acoustical suspensions in the wall that will act as an effective sound buffer. The springs actually absorb additional sound.
The high tech suspension system will decrease and remove any noise or music, leaving the floor above quite peaceful.
Our lobby is bound to be a showstopper, if we do say so ourselves. We previously blogged about the marble installation in this post. Today, during a #SiteVisit, we saw the new additions and more marble.
The floors are nearly complete, along with the lobby’s check in desk.
Take a look at the photos below:
As an update to this post, we have more news on the lobby front. Gleaming, luxurious marble floors! Beautifully elegant marble lends a level of sophistication to the space. We can’t wait to show you the finished product, but for now, here’s a look at the floor thus far:
