CHICAGO
Waldorf Astoria Chicago completed a redesign and addition of 7,914 square feet of meeting and event space on the hotel’s third floor. Included in the renovation are four new venues: Hawthorne, Alcott, and Thoreau meeting rooms, along with a Private Dining Room, ideal for small corporate gatherings and private dinners. These rooms complement the pre-existing 4,448 square feet of meeting space on the fifth floor.
“Waldorf Astoria Chicago is dedicated to providing its valued clients and guests with exceptional amenities and services and we are thrilled to offer more diverse options with our expanded meeting and event space,” said Marlene Poynder, general manager of Waldorf Astoria Chicago. “The transformation of our third floor allows our hotel to fulfill the changing needs of meeting planners in the most elegant way, offering an inspirational environment equipped with the latest technology.”
The three meeting rooms, named after notable authors, carry on the literary influence, Parisian-style and 1920s design of the fifth floor event venues (Sinclair Ballroom, Hemingway Salon, Faulkner Salon, and the Fitzgerald Salon). Each of the new spaces, which range from 830 square feet to 962 square feet, feature a calm, tonal color palette, luxe carpeting, high ceilings and a column-free open layout.
The spaces accommodate conferences, classroom, hollow square, U-shape, theater, reception, and banquet style events, catering from 27 to 100 guests. The four spaces offer AV capabilities, wired and wireless Internet access, and 30 AMP power service, with windows in three of the four spaces.
The hotel culinary team, helmed by Chef Nicholas Marino, will cater to each client’s preferences with a memorable and customizable menu. Waldorf Astoria Chicago boasts an array of luxurious amenities, including 215 expansive guest rooms and suites, in addition to the award-winning Waldorf Astoria Spa & Health Club with an indoor pool, fitness center and DreamDry salon.
Waldorf Astoria Chicago participates in Hilton HHonors.
