Room 1520 – Home to the 2011 Site Chicago Silent Auction
October 14, 2011 By Leave a Comment
This year’s networking and silent auction is going to be an event to behold and the entire Site Chicago event team is excited at how many industry friends will be joining us!
We will be at Room 1520 located in the West Loop, a brand new event venue on Chicago’s near west side.
This venue is both stark and stunning and will certainly knock your socks off. When I first toured the venue a few months ago, a commercial had just finished shooting and they were putting the room back together for another event that was scheduled to start that evening. Not bad, having back to back events for any venue is tough in this economy and shows that they are moving and shaking and making an impact.
One of the things that I am most excited about is accessibility. Room 1520 is a short cab ride from downtown, a quick EL ride and driving is even an option with plenty of on street parking.
Have a look at what the Room 1520 website has to say:
Room 1520 is located in the heart of the artistic West Loop neighborhood of Chicago. The venue is a restored, historical loft building with high ceilings, polished cement floors, portrait windows, exposed brick, a private street entrance and white marble restrooms.
Renovated specifically as a premier loft venue and adorned with high-end finishing touches throughout, the Aérée Loft inside Room 1520 is different from other loft venues in the city. It is elegant, airy, bright and accented by 17 Italian crystal chandeliers and an artisan staircase in the grand entrance. The space is an urban blank canvas waiting to be painted with your event.
In just a short time, Room 1520 has developed a glowing reputation in both the corporate and social events industry.
