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.

Brainstorm and Build Our Brunch Menu with Us

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!

Enjoy Brunch at I|O Urban Roofscape
