Modern Lakeshore Hotel with Large Ballroom and Flexible Meeting Rooms

Set inside the Aqua building near Lakeshore East, this hotel offers a substantial collection of ballrooms and meeting rooms for conferences, weddings, galas, and company programs. More than 28,000 square feet of function space and multiple room sizes make it possible to handle both a main event and smaller sessions nearby. Because the function space sits within a full-service hotel, the setting can handle both the formal part of an event and the quieter moments around it, from pre-function conversation to smaller breakout sessions. City views strengthen the sense of being in Chicago and give guests a visual connection to the surrounding neighborhood throughout the event. The venue also gives organizers several natural moments within one booking: arrival, conversation, the main program, dining, and a more relaxed close to the event.

Capacity reaches about 1,600 guests in the largest arrangement. Downtown views, audiovisual support, catering, Wi-Fi, and hotel accommodations create a complete setting for groups that need professional event infrastructure in a contemporary Chicago high-rise. For groups with out-of-town attendees, having guest rooms and event space at the same address can also simplify the overall experience while keeping the gathering centered in one place. On-site food service keeps dining integrated with the venue, which is valuable for receptions, dinners, and longer programs where the meal is an important part of the schedule. Wi-Fi is available for presentations, check-in, communications, and the everyday connectivity expected during business and social events. That combination gives meetings and team programs, corporate gatherings, and weddings a strong home here, with enough flexibility to support both the main program and the social time around it.
