Excellent Meeting Space at Courtyard Chicago Downtown Magnificent Mile — An Eventective User from Dallas, texas

I have been to business meetings at the Courtyard Chicago facilities several times and am yet to be disappointed. The hotel is located in the heart of Chicago, meaning it is an ideal location for exploring the different attractions after or before meetings. More importantly, the hotel has excellent ballrooms, boardrooms, and smaller meeting rooms, and provides great flexibility in budget and room sizes. My company holds meetings in the Ontario Ballroom C frequently because it is an ideal option for large meetings. The room is around 35 feet by 20 feet, and can be configured in a number of ways. It very easily fits 25-30 people in a boardroom style meeting, which is our usual meeting size. The boardroom style leaves room for extra tables and seating along the perimeter of the room, so more people can be accommodated if necessary. For larger groups of people, the hotel provides the option of combining all three sections of the Ontario Ballroom into a large function room. The hotel also has smaller meeting spaces for smaller and more intimate gatherings. The Chicago Boardroom, in particular, where we have hosted meetings, is excellent. All the necessary resources such as video and teleconferencing, projectors, and photocopy services are excellent and always up-and-running. The staff is always on hand to help with any issues that come up. In addition, outside catering can be brought in for your food and beverage needs. The best part of this venue, at least for me, is that it is located right in the heart of Chicago, which is a city I really love. It is very easy to visit the city's attractions and take in all that the city has to offer. The Navy Pier and McCormick Place are only a few blocks away from Courtyard. All in all, I heartily recommend this location to any business looking to host meetings or conferences in the Chicago Metro area.
