The gold-leaf lobby

What it feels like

Grand in Scale.
Rich in Detail.

A 55-foot vaulted ceiling draws the eye upward, while gold leaf, Italian marble, bronze details, and ornate lighting give the room its character. Look closer, and the craftsmanship reveals itself in every direction, from the black and white marble floors to the sculptural details throughout the space.

In the Details

Art is Part of the Architecture

The gold amphitheater creates a natural focal point for ceremonies, presentations, performances, and speeches, while the bronze sculpture Chicago Fugue brings another layer of artistry to the room. Together, they give The Lobby distinctive backdrops from every perspective.
