Did you know?

A solar eclipse will occur on Monday, April 8. To celebrate this rare event, we’ll be hosting an eclipse viewing party on the roof of the hotel.

Starting at 1:45 p.m., we’ll gather for refreshments and networking, plus the distribution of solar eclipse glasses. At around 2:30 p.m., prepare to be amazed as the moon blocks out 90% of the sun. We hope to see you there!


Hotel amenities

As part of your stay at Loews, you’ll enjoy complimentary access to basic in-room Wi-Fi and the 24-hour fitness center on the 3rd floor. Learn more about the services and amenities.


What to wear

When deciding what clothing to bring, be aware that Chicago’s weather is fickle in April. The temperatures reach between 55 F and 63 F (13–17 C), with an average high of 59 F (15 C). On the other end, the average low is 39 F (4 C). In April, it’s rare to see snow in Chicago.


During our educational sessions, we recommend wearing business casual. You’ll want to dress comfortably as conference room temperatures can vary.

For evening events, we recommend dressing casual with comfortable shoes. Tuesday night will include an opportunity to bowl, so please wear socks if interested in this activity.
