Opened in 1910, The Blackstone is a Chicago icon with over a century of rich history. Known as the "Hotel of Presidents," it has hosted numerous U.S. presidents, celebrities, and cultural figures. Located on Michigan Avenue, the hotel played a notable role in political history—most famously as the site of the "Smoke-Filled Room" during the 1920 Republican National Convention (ask Annie's dad about this- he's a history buff). With its Beaux-Arts architecture and luxurious charm, The Blackstone blends classic elegance with modern sophistication, standing as a testament to Chicago’s vibrant past and dynamic present. Feel free to use the time between the ceremony and reception to check-in to your hotel, get the drinks flowing, or take a stroll through Grant Park just across the street from the reception venue!
