In addition to our convention facilities, Chicago offers a variety of hotel space and unique special event venues like The Art Institute of Chicago and the Field Museum that will make your meeting a memorable one. The city’s array of meeting and event space is just the start. Chicago has more than 100,000 hotel rooms in the metropolitan area and 33,000 rooms downtown providing you with service, comfort and value at every price point. Additionally, the construction of two new hotels, the Radisson Blu and Langham Hotel, will add another 600+ rooms to Chicago’s diverse hotel inventory. Plus, the Hyatt Regency McCormick announced a full renovation and 461 room expansion by the end of 2013.
