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
As an update to this post, we have more news on the lobby front. Gleaming, luxurious marble floors! Beautifully elegant marble lends a level of sophistication to the space. We can’t wait to show you the finished product, but for now, here’s a look at the floor thus far:
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.
Our lobby is starting to come to life! The latest #SiteVisit photos are below and, at the very bottom, the rendering of our lobby plans so you can compare our vision to the latest progress:
We’re thrilled with our construction progress thus far and yesterday our construction company, LendLease, had a Topping Off party to celebrate and thank everyone who has helped us along the way.
Nearly 200 hard working team members plus management from LendLease construction joined in the celebration. The party included delicious catering from Lee and Eddy’s.
What’s a Topping Off celebration? In construction, it’s a builder’s ceremony when the structure (bare bones of the building) is complete, and since we took over the structure, this Topping Off party is to celebrate that the building has drywall on all guest floors and the lobby.
Thank you for celebrating with us and congratulations to our construction team!
