A Look Inside The Godfrey Hotel

With The Godfrey Hotel Chicago now open, we wanted to share with you some updated photos from the guest rooms! No matter the type of room you book with us, you’ll always find a place to relax, and a place to work (if you need it). Look forward to luxurious towels and spa products in the bathrooms, too.

#TBT – The Godfrey Hotel Lobby

Our #ThrowbackThursday post this week zeros in on the beautiful lobby at The Godfrey Hotel Chicago! Take a look at where we were on Aug. 9, 2013, and how far we’ve come. Cozy up on our comfy seating by the window and watch passersby, or admire our artistic and modern statement chandelier in the lobby. #TBT

Party Time at I|O Urban Roofscape

I|O Urban Roofscape is the place to be now that The Godfrey Hotel has opened! We have had several organizations host parties, lunches and other events in the rooftop space so far. On Wednesday, Feb. 5, 2013, Stimulus Social Club hosted a Mercy for Animals benefit, which was also the first official event at I|O.

It’s coming together! The Godfrey Hotel Chicago sign was installed this week, meaning we’re that much closer to the grand opening. It’s an architecturally unique building, and a beautiful, sleek sign during the day. Then the sun went down and we saw this:
