It’s #ThrowbackThursday and we’re celebrating the beautiful rooftop dining experience at I|O Urban Roofscape! The photo below was taken on June 26, 2013 during construction at The Godfrey Hotel Chicago.
Flash forward to today and we’re now open!
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!
Here are a couple of photos of I|O Urban Roofscape’s new wood floor made of IPE decking. This flooring will cover the entire outside of the building on the 4th floor. In the second photo, notice the special construction under the deck for flooring support, which allows for all-weather seasons and also levels the deck. Functional and looks great!
As indicated in the above rendering, the fire pit is surrounded by luxurious seating, and is located just outside the bar and kitchen. Guests will be able to sip festive cocktails, order delicious appetizers and enjoy the unique Chicago view from the rooftop of The Godfrey Hotel – all the while staying warm during those cold-weather months.
The indoor fireplace will be a central meeting spot for good company and great memories. Also situated closely to the bar and kitchen, guests can toast to a great evening in Chicago. We look forward to seeing you there!
