PLEASE ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE MYSELF
THE END OF BUSINESS AS USUAL
Thanks to rock ‘n’ roll, things haven’t been the same. Rock gave us the green light to ignore convention and allowed us to be different; to transform “cool” from being just a setting on the thermostat into the mentality of how we live our lives and, yes, even conduct business. Stretching 40 stories tall in the heart of downtown Chicago, hotel guests will find a musically-inspired atmosphere where Art Deco meets the art of hospitality. Stylish and forward thinking, our contemporary ambiance blends seamlessly within the walls of the iconic Carbide & Carbon Building, a historic Burnham masterpiece fashioned from green terra cotta and black polished granite. Here, business meetings with a hip, sophisticated attitude give life to new ideas. Intimate luxury, endless amenities and attentive service rock your expectations of what a business meeting can be.

MEETING AND EVENT ROOMS
FENDER BALLROOM Boasting over 3,000 square feet of meeting space that can be partitioned into three separate rooms, Fender is the envy of other rooms. This ballroom has soaring 20 foot ceilings, modern ambiance and a state-of-the-art sound system. It’s chic, it’s contemporary and it’s everything you expect from a hotel that rocks. GIBSON ROOM This bright, rectangular-shaped room has over 2,000 square feet of space drenched in natural light and treats guests to city views. Have a more intimate group? Gibson can be broken down into five smaller rooms that include Byrdland, Firebird, Flying V, SG and Les Paul. In other words, there’s room for you and all of your groupies. HAMER ROOM This exclusive room boasts close to 1,000 square feet of meeting capacity that can be divided into two killer venues. With over 600 square feet of available pre-function space and an outdoor terrace featuring rock star views of Michigan Avenue, the Hamer Room is VIP at every turn. GRETSCH AND RICKENBACKER BOARDROOMS Some boardrooms say, “Let’s do business!” The Gretsch and Rickenbacker Boardrooms scream it. They are stylish, hip and oh-so rock star. Ergonomic Herman Miller chairs surround ultra-sleek frosted glass boardroom tables with flat panel 42” TVs wall-mounted at the front of each room. If they don’t have everything you want, we can get it. PAUL REED SMITH When it’s time for face-to-face or a little solo session, this is the room for you. Perfect for small meetings, interviews or if you just want to throw an impromptu bash for a few of your closest friends. ALEMBIC ROOM With nearly 1,000 square feet of meeting space, the Alembic Room is flexible enough to be divided into two separate rooms while still providing the ultimate setting for business meetings, social events or the party of a lifetime.
