InterContinental Chicago

The InterContinental Chicago caters to the tastes of modern travelers while sharing the treasures of its own rich past. The art-deco facade, preserved and polished in a recent renovation, only hints at the pleasures of past and present inside.

What began in 1929 as the Medinah Athletic Club today embraces the hotel’s landmark wing, a modern tower, 792 guest rooms, and more than 40,000 square feet of meeting space. The Grand Ballroom leads off four magnificently appointed historic ballrooms with its elliptical shape, interior balcony, classic pillars, 37 hand-painted murals, and 12,000-pound Baccarat crystal chandelier. The Renaissance Room evokes the French court of Louis XVI, the Seville Room entertains in the style of Spanish royalty, and the King Arthur Court & Camelot captures the majesty of medieval Britain.

Two more ballrooms and 28 conference rooms expand on the selection of venues for meetings and events. Top-flight corporate groups also favor the Presidential Suite, which commands a bird’s-eye view of Chicago from the thirty-fifth floor. In fact, all 792 guest rooms overlook the city, and many view Lake Michigan as well.

A Roman-style swimming pool, fitness center, and chic restaurant, bar, and wine, cheese, and chocolate tasting room appeal to group members and leisure travelers alike. In addition, as the only hotel with a front entrance on the Magnificent Mile, the InterContinental offers instant access to Chicago’s finest sightseeing, shopping, dining, and entertainment.
