About:
Offering panoramic views of Lake Michigan, Swissôtel Chicago is an upscale wedding venue and hotel in Chicago, Illinois. At the beating heart of the windy city, this property offers couples the chance to wed in luxury and tranquility, high above the bustle below. Combining world-class service with elegant design, and a spectacular location, Swissôtel Chicago is a venue truly elevated above its competitors.
A stunning jewel upon the city’s skyline, the Swissôtel Chicago is a prime example of modern architecture married with contemporary design. Such an aesthetic is showcased by the hotel’s multiple event spaces, which can cater for wedding parties of all sizes. Foremost amongst these is the lavish Élevé ballroom, throned atop the skyscraper and surrounded by commanding vistas. The ballroom’s design echoes the cityscape without, utilizing clean lines and a cool, refined color palette. Its crowning element is its room-spanning chandelier which dangles above the party below. Custom built, this contemporary art-piece uses angular, decorative glass elements to evoke the building in which it is housed. A capacious offering, the Élevé ballroom can welcome a guest list of 300 loved ones for an unforgettable wedding experience. Event furniture, specifically selected for harmony with the space’s décor, is available for couples including chairs, tables, and linens. Once the celebrations have calmed, guests will be spoilt for choice with 661 over-sized and sleekly decorated rooms and suites to retire to. All are tastefully upholstered, and present a choice of city, river, or lake views. There is ample parking available, inducing a valet service for guests to avail of.
What Couples are Saying:
“The Swissotel was an amazing venue for our dream wedding! Phyllis, the hotel event manager and our main point of contact throughout the process, was passionate about helping us craft our perfect day. She was patient and flexible during the entire planning phase, even when we had special requests that were unique to our wedding experience. The food was incredible and on-par with the best I’ve had in Chicago. The event staff was excellent and helped us turn our wedding into the best party of the year. I think my favorite part of the whole experience was the Eleve ballroom, which was transformed into a elegant venue and provided a fantastic view of the city. Finally, we received a very competitive room block so many of our out-of-town guests could stay at the hotel, making it so that most guests were either local or could just stay in the hotel for the whole day. If you want to have your wedding in downtown Chicago, we highly recommend the Swissotel!” – Trevor
“What an AMAZING wedding venue. The penthouse (Eleve) with floor to ceiling windows offered views of Chicago that were breathtaking. The event coordinator, Phyliss Washington was kind, professional, attentive and true perfectionist. It was so stress free knowing that she was in charge. The food/drinks were amazing and the chef worked with us and even made a custom salad! The guest rooms/fitness gym were updated and beautiful. Would highly recommend!” – Gayle
