#TBT – King Guest Room

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.

Now completed, our king guest room is inviting with its comfortable, high-quality linens and everything you could need during your stay.

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.

Make a reservation today and come see the guest rooms for yourself. We’re #NowOpen and we’d love to have you.

The Godfrey Hotel featured in Travel + Leisure Magazine

Travel+Leisure placed The Godfrey at the top of the new hotel list in “Chicago Decoder”. They featured our modern structure and how it “cuts a commanding figure against the Chicago Skyline.”

Although as the new kid on the block, we certainly take advantage of the more modern things we can offer guests, just like T+L mentioned our RFID card scanners.  With this, guests don’t even have to juggle everything to simply open their door.  Convenience at its finest.  To some it may seem like a modern luxury, but to us, it just makes sense.

Travel + Leisure - March 2014

Chicago is a great city, with plenty to do and see. You never know where you may find the next adventure or even find time to relax.  At The Godfrey Hotel, we strive to give you a modern, luxurious experience, so you can find your element.

The Godfrey Hotel Chicago Fitness Room

Traveling can make challenging to stick with your fitness routines, but The Godfrey Hotel Chicago is here to help.

Take a look at the new photos of our gorgeous 24-hour fitness room, complete with the latest equipment, free weights and more.  Plus, the extra space in our fitness room allows for exercise enthusiasts to stretch out before or after they’re finished exercising.  Guests can reach their health and wellness goals while having a great time when traveling for business or pleasure.  With the abundant food options in Chicago (deep dish pizza, anyone?), this is the perfect way to maintain a balance on the road.

Our brand new treadmills, ellipticals, and exercise bikes will help you work up a sweat!
