Fairmont Chicago, Millennium Park

Chicago's bustling business district, theaters and nightlife, lakefront, Magnificent Mile, and the serene escape of Millennium Park all intersect at one location: the Fairmont Chicago Millennium Park. With the best of Chicago culture and commerce on the doorstep, groups of 10 to 2,000 convene in 62,000 square feet of function space designed to meet every agenda.

Fresh from a dramatic $50-million transformation, the hotel sets an impressive tone on arrival, from its soaring 37-story exterior to its lobby filled with contemporary art to its state-of-the-art meetings technology—including concert-quality sound systems and theatrical lighting. Guests retire to rooms and suites newly appointed in a sleek contemporary style, accompanied by details such as rainfall-style showers, 42-inch TVs, iPod docking stations, wireless Internet access, and
timeless views of the Chicago lakefront.

Delegates who prefer an exclusive lifestyle hotel experience can reserve accommodations on Fairmont Gold, where the level of service and special privileges aim to please the most discerning executive. Popular gathering spots at Fairmont Chicago include Aria Bar, presenting premium cocktails, martinis, and sushi flown in daily from Japan. The new wine tasting room, Eno, explores the pairing of wine, cheese, and chocolate. And Aria, the signature restaurant, inspires palates with new world Asian cuisine.

Attendees between breaks and sessions can check into mySpa, a brand-new 11,000-square-foot sanctuary complete with cutting-edge equipment, luxurious amenities, and stellar spa services. And, of course, all of Chicago waits just outside the front door.
