The Drake Hotel in Chicago is a historic and iconic luxury hotel, located on the city's famed Magnificent Mile, right along the shores of Lake Michigan. It opened in 1920 and has long been recognized for its timeless elegance and grand architecture. The hotel is well known for its refined atmosphere, with its interior spaces showcasing rich furnishings, chandeliers, marble floors, and impressive vaulted ceilings.
Renovations made include a refresh to the historic Coq D’OR lounge and restrooms. A series of eight guest rooms were removed to accommodate the new Fitness and Wellness Center directly above the Grand Ballroom. Great care and coordination were employed so as to not disrupt guests and hotel operations.
