First celebrated as the Hotel of the Presidents, The Blackstone was a favorite retreat for movie stars, royalty, and sports greats. It was where Chicagoans made cherished memories. Now, The Blackstone is back with a showcase restoration that is a dynamic mix of historic architecture and savvy design.
Video art and over 1400 other original artworks by Chicago artists lend a decidedly contemporary twist. The Blackstone ambiance sets the stage for an imaginative, distinctly Chicago experience combined with luxurious amenities and thoughtful guest services. There is over 13,230 square feet of meeting space, including the lavishly preserved Crystal Ballroom. Mercat a la Planxa is the signature restaurant with panoramic lakefront views. The hotel also offers a health club and a business center (accessible 24/7).
