Located downtown with a fantastic view of the city, the Renaissance Chicago Downtown officially unveiled its $32 million renovation early last month, with completion of Phase II of the project.
This phase added a ballroom, an additional 4,000 square feet of meeting space and a rooftop bar. Completed last year, Phase I unveiled a transformation of the lobby and guest rooms, of which there are 520 plus 40 suites.
The new rooftop bar, labeled Raised, is located on the third floor and has an indoor/outdoor layout. It comfortably fits 160. There also is additional event space connected to the bar.
The new 3,000-square-foot ballroom overlooks the Chicago River and other Chicago architecture, including Marina Towers and the Wrigley Building. A smaller ballroom also was transformed, increasing from 4,000 square feet to 5,000.
The Gettys Group’s Interior Design and Branding teams in conjunction with the Renaissance Hotel’s Brand Team and Carey Watermark, were in charge of the hotel’s renovations. Both phases were managed by leading hospitality developer The John Hardy Group.
