Marriott Marquis at McCormick Place

Addressing the dearth of accommodations to support large events at McCormick Place, America’s largest convention center, this new 1.3 million-square-foot, 1,200-key hotel has helped to revitalize Chicago’s South Side while serving as a beacon for the area. Rising to a dramatic peak, the 50-floor glass tower boasts numerous amenities, including an indoor/outdoor lobby, green roof and outdoor terrace, and air-conditioned pedestrian bridges connecting to the convention center, and a planned event center. The hospitality project includes the historic renovation of the American Book Company Building, preserving historic landmark facades while breathing new life into the 1912 building.
