INFORMATION
A legendary setting, the Crystal Ballroom has an illuminated dance floor, 25-foot gilded dome ceiling and graceful balcony for additional seating. This iconic ballroom has housed many prominent gatherings, conventions, business meetings and extravagant galas. During the early years of the hotel, guests could watch the famous dance of Veloz and Yolanda twirl about the Crystal Ballroom's illuminated glass dance floor, casting a brilliant spectrum of colors. Now plexiglass, the illuminated dance floor, the only one in a Chicago hotel, still dazzles after all these years. Accommodate up to 250 guests in one of the most impressive historic event locations in Chicago, the 4,931 square-foot Crystal Ballroom. Experience the 360 virtual tour here and 3D model here.
