I have been here many times to visit Randolph Street Market, which is held here…read more This is a gorgeous art deco building that is available for rental for events. I am talking about the old building, not the new one that was built in 2017. The lower hall and bar features beautiful woodwork and a gorgeous bar. There are 2 floors to this building. The Main Hall is located on the second floor, is 9,000 square feet and has a natural wooden floor, a built-in stage (30'Wx30'Lx3 1/2H) and a balcony (73'W x 20'D) at its widest point, acoustic ceiling and chandeliers. Check out the ornate metal railings on the stairways that go up to the balcony. Available with this room is a complete A/V system, podium, microphones, and a large projection screen.

After attending this show for five years in a row, I can honestly say that it keeps getting better…read more Anyone that owns a restaurant or attending culinary school must attend at least once. The show is an amazing opportunity to network, try new menu items not yet available to the public, sample delicious food and drinks, view the latest in restaurant uniforms and equipment. There are also great cooking demos and info sessions. The show is not open to the public.

This was our first time exhibiting a this show and our overall experience did not go as expected…read more The day before the show began, we were told to pick up badges and parking passes for entry. It took us about 30 to 45 minutes to find where we needed to go. There were no directions online or at the venue to point us in the right direction. If it was not for the parking assistants, we would have never known how to find parking or where to go. As far as the actual show, there were so many vendors and it is a great opportunity for bigger vendors, not so much for smaller vendors trying to receive brand recognition. We left the show receiving about 3 leads in the Start Up Alley. It was not what we expected for the price we spent and we will not return or recommend.

Been here for Chicago Bears games but not a concert. We attended the Bruno Mars concert and it was…read morefun the concession prices and getting out of the stadium is a nightmare. I would not recommend going to a concert here, especially seating in the 300 and 400 levels. It was the worst experience trying to get down to the lower levels to exit. I swear getting seemed like it too longer than the concert itself. I wish they had people directing fans to the exits. If you get stuck in a spot where it doesn't lead you to the ramps, then you have to funnel through a 10 foot wide opening. Lastly, the concession prices are CRAZY. Overall Bruno put on an unforgettable show but Soldier Field and the logistics can be better.

Polish sausage is huge and really good. Forgot to take a photo of it.

ALL WORK & NO SLEEP…read more I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to visit IBM for a few meetings here. What impressed me most was the lobby walkway. It was curved and lined with amazing plants. In fact, it was so beautiful I walked past my elevator all the way to the end to enjoy it. I also learned from fellow Yelper Bill M, that the planters along the windows can also stop a speeding car. That kind of design would make Jack Bauer happy! We win! Once I got past the awe of the beautiful lobby, I made my way through security. This place is like an airport with metal detectors and X-Ray bag machines. I had to think to myself, do hotel guests have to go through here too? Because as a frequent traveler it would drive me crazy to go through TSA at my hotel, after dealing with TSA at the airport. I hear the cafeteria is great but I did not get to experience it. Maybe one day I'll be lucky enough to eat here. I arrived up at IBM and checked in at there receptionists desk. Everything was very typical for office space from this point on. I did like the history wall of IBM. It gave me something to read after I left the men's bathroom. There was also a glass room showcasing the IBM server. That was cool to see. I felt like William Shatner in the movie Airplane 2, "Can we get all these lights to blink at the same time?" (I am not sure if anyone ever saw part 2 of Airplane or if they even remembers a movie line from it.) After humoring myself, I decide to leave IBM and make my way back to the lobby. As I stood in the lobby, I had to walk through the curved tree walkway one more time because I did not know when I would be lucky enough to return. I was happy to get to experience this new building from the inside and hopefully I'll make a return visit one of these days.

Impressive design, creativity, and good use of space…read more I'm just visiting the IBM office here and was impressed (once I got through the security line!). I love the curved walls and bamboo trees in the main lobby area. Beautiful, modern orchid arrangements everywhere. OK, I've never been to the Google campus to compare, but this has the best corporate cafe I've seen. I tried the made-to-order pasta (with rice noodles for gluten free diet) made fresh before my eyes. Then I saw the fresh made wraps and the sushi. Where else can you get this just outside your office door? Great location for car-free transportation. If you do take a cab, make sure the cabbie pays attention and doesn't drive you to the Hyatt hotel (on East Wacker) by mistake!

They asked for feedback after our stay, and this is what I sent them. They replied with an…read moreapologetic email that sounded AI generated but no attempt to actually make things right, so want to give a heads up to others since this is an expensive hotel. Also there is no onsite receptionist / front desk staff, so you can only communicate with them electronically while you're there. I expect a lot more for shelling out $600 for two nights. Lastly, they require a $500 security deposit, which is the highest I've ever seen (standard is $150). My feedback to them: The suite we stayed in was mostly comfortable and we loved the neighborhood, but we did experience a few things that needed attending to: -One of the window cranks in the living room was visibly broken / partially detached, so we couldn't open that window to let in air, nor would it close all the way. -The bathroom fan didn't seem to be functioning properly. -There was no sugar for coffee in the morning. When we inquired if there was a way to have it restocked (there were empty canisters next to the Splenda and creamer canisters, so we assumed it had just run out), we were told the hotel doesn't stock sugar and we could get some at a bakery nearby. As frequent hotel travelers, we found this omission in standard coffee service to be bizarre and inconvenient. -Housekeeping showed up early a couple of times before checkout time, once while my partner was showering and I was in the back bedroom, meaning we had no way to quickly answer the knock and they may have just walked in assuming we weren't there. It would be nice to have a system where the cleaners know whether or not someone has checked out rather than coming by while guests are getting ready to leave. We would have been happy to send a checkout text if asked. -The largest issue was that one of the pipes in the larger bedroom leaked and has clearly been leaking for some time because there's visible water damage on the wall. We alerted the remote concierge as soon as we discovered it yesterday morning, including noting that one of our bags with belongings in it had been soaked through due to the leak. We were initially told that it would stop dripping because the rain had stopped; we were then told someone would come by to check on it around 1 pm, which was fine with us since we were out most of the day. We then got a text saying they'd come between 3 and 4, but we received that text after 4, when we were heading back to the hotel to rest before dinner, so at that point we asked them not to come so we could have private downtime. At no point were we offered an alternate room or compensation for the plumbing malfunction. The bag that got soaked by the leak contained a laptop computer that would have been destroyed if we had caught the leak any later than we did. Their response: Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback about your stay. We truly appreciate it, as it helps us identify areas where we can improve the guest experience. We sincerely apologize for the maintenance issues you encountered, including the broken window crank, the bathroom fan, and especially the leak in the bedroom. We understand how concerning it must have been to discover that your belongings had been exposed to water, and we're very sorry for the inconvenience and frustration this caused. Your comments regarding the communication and follow-up on the leak have been shared with our team so we can improve our response process and better handle situations like this in the future. We also apologize for the housekeeping interruptions before checkout. We understand your expectations and will take your comments into consideration as we continue evaluating our guest amenities. Thank you again for bringing these matters to our attention. We value your feedback and appreciate the opportunity to learn from your experience. We hope you'll consider staying with us again in the future so we can provide you with a much better experience.

The banquets itself is always neat and clean. They also recently renovated a lot of the things. They changed the sofas, lighting, and many more details that make it seem like a palace. After visiting this place multiple times, I think that it is a great place to host an event.
