New Eastside Hotel with Expansive Ballroom and Conference Technology

This downtown hotel has 32 event spaces and a 14,000-square-foot Zurich ballroom built for high-capacity meetings, weddings, banquets, and conferences. Seventeen-foot ceilings and unobstructed sightlines help the largest room feel open, while smaller meeting rooms give business programs space for breakouts and focused sessions. The hotel format also gives an event a useful sense of continuity: guests can move from arrival to the main program, dining, and smaller conversations without changing properties. High ceilings give the main space extra volume, which is especially noticeable once the room fills with guests, tables, or a larger presentation setup. The scale is large enough to create energy when the room is active, yet the event still benefits from the venue's permanent features and established sense of place.

Capacity reaches about 1,800 guests. High-speed Wi-Fi, video conferencing, technical support, catering, full bar service, valet parking, and hotel amenities make it a strong choice for large corporate and social events near the river and lakefront. That combination works well for multi-part occasions such as wedding weekends, conferences, or company programs where some guests may be staying on property. Wi-Fi is available for presentations, check-in, communications, and the everyday connectivity expected during business and social events. On-site parking is a meaningful convenience for local guests and vendors, particularly for larger gatherings where arrival logistics can otherwise become part of the challenge. 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. The venue is also well suited to private celebrations, meetings and team programs, and corporate gatherings, with the existing rooms and amenities supporting both the main activity and the time guests spend together around it.
