Soundproof, Check!

We just love every little detail that goes into the planning of a hotel – one no less important than the next. Today we’re happy to share the latest update from our #SiteVisit – the soundproofing on the fourth floor.

Why? Well we’re glad you asked. Once we’re open, the fourth floor will be the happening home to I|O Urban Roofscape. This swanky spot is a captivating escape for guests and Chicagoans and we certainly will be mindful of any noise.

To accommodate that, we are installing acoustical suspensions in the wall that will act as an effective sound buffer. The springs actually absorb additional sound.

The high tech suspension system will decrease and remove any noise or music, leaving the floor above quite peaceful.

Windows on Huron

Another development to share: we now have floor-to-ceiling windows on the Huron-facing side of the lobby level! These spacious, grand windows will flood the lobby in gorgeous natural light. They will make the space feel that much bigger and brighter, yet also warm and welcoming.

Massage or Facial?

When it comes to your favorite spa treatment, you’ll be pampered with pleasure at our luxurious Spa•Boutique. In the photos below, you have the first glimpse at the beginnings of our tranquil, private in-house spa. From couples massages to invigorating body treatments, our facility will be equipped to provide a host of services by licensed spa therapists. Or, if guests prefer, they may choose to recharge their senses with a treatment in the privacy of their suites.

No matter your preferred mode of pampering, we’ll be ready to exceed your expectations with our state-of-the-art Spa•Boutique.

Busy Busy Busy

We continue to make progress at the hotel everyday. Today we have more work happening at the entrance of the hotel on Huron Street. Our goal? Make the entrance approachable and one to remember. Check out our last blog post for more pics on the lobby.

Pre-Planning Payoff

As our blog shows firsthand, there’s so much more to a hotel than meets the eye. There are countless meetings, appointments and sessions that take place to map out a property long before the ground breaks. One such amenity that requires strategic planning is wireless internet. All of our rooms will have access to wi-fi, even the 220th room on the top floor, thanks to pre-planning and an abundance of wire:

This equipment is only for half a floor! The rest is safely hidden behind the dry wall. As we continue to build, we place ourselves in the guest’s shoes to see how we can offer the best experience. We hope that our pre-planning will help you Discover Your Element.
