Unique IO Urban Roofscape Events

During the first six weeks at The Godfrey Hotel Chicago, we’ve hosted some amazing IO Urban Roofscape events – all extremely unique in tone. From styling details to room setup, we can accommodate any party or event request.

Kehoe Designs hosted a beautiful birthday party in the Truss Room, with lots of pink notes and an overall theme of love.
