Hotel Sax Chicago

The Hotel Sax Chicago appeals to those who believe that stepping outside the office for meetings should mean stepping outside the box. The new hotel—a $17 million transformation of the House of Blues Hotel—aims to inspire creativity in groups with a mix of atmosphere, comfort, energy, and innovative technology.

Visitors find themselves at the heart of Chicago’s Marina City complex, just north of the Chicago River and downtown loop. Neighbors include the original House of Blues, 10-Pin Bowling Lounge, Crunch Fitness center, and Smith & Wollensky steak house. Right at home guests can join the action at the Crimson Lounge, Chicago’s hottest new nightclub, and the chic and friendly restaurant Bin 36. Equally character-rich environments set the 353 guest rooms apart as well—all equipped with complimentary Wi-Fi, modern desks, chairs, and lighting should the need for “homework” arise.

The hotel’s own creativity reached a peak of sorts in the 12,000 square feet of meeting space, which drew on the minds at VOA Associates, Microsoft, and other partners to build in cutting-edge technology for communications, lighting, sound, and audiovisual support. While the ballroom and breakout rooms serve as paragons of form and function for groups, they also break the mold with accents such as charged-glass (to change a space from public to private at the flick of a switch), fireplaces, geometrically designed couches, even a calming waterfall installation. There are no packages available at this time.
