About
Located in Embassy Suites Chicago Downtown Magnificent Mile hotel’s open-air atrium, the award-winning Sky Garden is 750-square foot of green space ideal for hosting events ranging from semi-private receptions and lunches to private mixology parties. This sustainable setting can comfortably accommodate up to 80 people.
Sky Garden is open 365 days a year and features an extensive variety of over 1,000 pots of plants that decorate the atrium and rotate on a seasonal basis. Currently, the Sky Garden features herbs such as mint, oregano, basil, sage, and rosemary. Not only are the herbs’ prominent location along the perimeter of the venue visually striking, but they also provide a fragrant bouquet of different herbal scents that are sure to "cultivate the senses" of attendees visiting the space.
The fresh herbs grown in the Sky Garden are masterfully incorporated into the hotels food and beverage selections, whether it be herb-infused cocktails at the complimentary Evening Reception, vibrant herbs in the omelets at the free cooked-to-order breakfast, or the herb-inspired menu at 511 North Lounge. Herb-centric items are also offered in the hotel's banquet menus and can be redesigned in any way, allowing the Chicago hotel to connect with attendees in a "direct-to-fork" manner.
The Embassy Suites Chicago Downtown Magnificent Mile hotel is also in the heart of Chicago’s bustling downtown area, placing it in proximity to many of the wonderful attractions that Chicago has to offer. Guests are only a short walk away from top attractions such as Michigan Avenue shopping, Navy Pier, the Chicago Contemporary Art Museum, and much more.
