Reviews of Swissôtel Chicago
Eleve Ballroom Wedding Ceremony and Reception
Swissotel for NYE's 2022 Wedding!
LOVED the Swissotel!
Incredible experience!
The venue itself is gorgeous - the ceremony and reception were both hosted on the 42nd floor with views of the river and the lake. Views from rooms were outstanding as well, which was a huge bonus for our guests traveling from out of town staying at our hotel block - even though the weather was crappy all weekend which made it hard for guests to explore Chicago, they got to see a lot of it just out their window!
Overall, highly recommend!! So easy to work with and such a pretty place - and compared to some of the other downtown venues this one is fairly reasonably priced.
