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
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.
Today, we welcomed ChooseChicago for lunch on a beautiful sunny day. We look forward to seeing you at your next event!
Who doesn’t love weekend brunch? Finally, a chance to unwind and relax with friends or family after the hectic workweek. At I|O Urban Roofscape, we want to hear what you love most about brunch – or what you’d like to see offered here. We’re open to suggestions and we’re listening to you! Help us “build” our brunch menu.
Perhaps a 40 Foot Bloody Mary Bar? Or Champagne Saturdays? What would you like to see offered?
Let us know – and remember, true in any brainstorm… no idea is a bad idea! You can comment below or add your ideas to the post on I|O Urban Roofscape’s Facebook page. You never know, you might see your suggestion featured at I|O Urban Roofscape.
Until then, cheers!
In a new article by Blake Thorne on MLive.com, we get the lowdown on where our gorgeous illuminated sign comes from! The Godfrey Hotel’s super modern sign and canopy system was designed and installed by Signs by Crannie out of Flushing, Mich. Read more about the installation here.
Drum roll please! The winners from our Name the Element Contest are below. Congratulations to the three winners and thank you to all who participated. The Godfrey Hotel Chicago will help travelers and guests from near and far “Discover Your Element.”
