In a new article by Blake Thorne on MLive.com, we get the lowdown on where our gorgeous illuminated sign comes from! The Godfrey Hotel’s super modern sign and canopy system was designed and installed by Signs by Crannie out of Flushing, Mich. Read more about the installation here.
It’s coming together! The Godfrey Hotel Chicago sign was installed this week, meaning we’re that much closer to the grand opening. It’s an architecturally unique building, and a beautiful, sleek sign during the day. Then the sun went down and we saw this:
Gorgeous! We look forward to seeing you at The Godfrey Hotel Chicago soon.
Headboards are here! We take a good night’s sleep very seriously here at The Godfrey Hotel, so we’re currently putting together dream-like guest rooms complete with stylish details to make your stay with us that much more comfortable. Stay tuned to see what they look like in the rooms!
This holiday season The Magnificent Mile isn’t the only place to find a dazzling display of lights! What do you think of the filigreed light fixtures that take center stage in our lobby? Share your thoughts with us on Facebook and Twitter!
Today, we conducted a site visit to check out the latest and greatest at the hotel. With so many changes happening, we could hardly decide where to focus. But, we reflect back on the female guests and frequent travelers who we surveyed and questioned months ago about their travel preferences.
We consistently heard three requests for amenities in the room:
We can now say: Check, check and check.
First, we learned many ladies (and likely our gentleman too) want a full length mirror in the hotel room. We certainly understand – even when you’re on the road, you still want to look stylish. Here’s a look at the full length mirror:
Second, we know bathroom products matter. Guests love quality products and L’Occitane delivers nothing short of a “beauty phenomenon,” as we’ve heard others say. We previously blogged about how excited we are to offer these products in our guest bathrooms – you can view the blog post here.
Last, for the counter space, we heard many female (frequent) travelers say they preferred the extra counter space in the bathroom. The extra space allows them to set up their hair products and tools, along with their makeup bags and other needs. The extra space (shown below) allows for at least two people to easily share the space with their travel kits and make up.
Enjoy, ladies! And we know the male travelers won’t mind either. Enjoy, all!
