Recognized as the Best Hotel in Chicago by readers of Travel & Leisure magazine, and named No. 1 Hotel in Chicago on Condé Nast Traveler’s Gold List, the Waldorf Astoria Chicago offers an excellent choice for meetings in Chicago’s exclusive Gold Coast neighborhood. Whether applying its expertise to board of director meetings, customer focus groups or any other gathering, the Waldorf Astoria Chicago sets the stage for anticipatory service, sophistication, and timeless glamour.

Chicago’s highly acclaimed hotel experience begins with arrival just off the Magnificent Mile, in a skyscraper designed by renowned architect Lucien Lagrange. Evoking the grand hotels of Europe, the richly detailed limestone exterior and courtyard lead to black-and-white interiors inspired by Greek classicism and Paris in the ’20s—à la Coco Chanel. The experience goes on to include encounters with museum-quality contemporary art, the award-winning Elysian Spa and Health Club, and a distinct residential feel thanks to oversized guest rooms and suites, most complete with fireplaces and terraces. Five-diamond service includes complimentary in-town transportation via Mercedes-Benz automobiles.

The hotel maintains 4,448 square feet of space for gatherings on the fifth floor. Ideally suited to executive meetings and events, it features the understated elegance of intricate white moldings, silver-gray wall coverings, high ceilings and generous natural light. The five rooms include the formal Sinclair Ballroom, the smaller but equally impressive Hemingway and Faulkner salons, and the Fitzgerald Boardroom. In addition, a private dining room entertains groups at the signature restaurant Balsan.
