Practical tips for dining during busy events
The hotel is directly connected by skybridge to McCormick Place and close to Wintrust Arena; during convention or event days, dining outlets can be busy and hours or menus may change for private events. If you have fixed meeting times, allow extra time for lines at the Showroom Food Hall or for a full-service meal at Woven and Bound.
If you need a guaranteed group meal or special setup for an event, contact the hotel’s event team in advance — the property has extensive meeting and ballroom space and in-house catering options for receptions and banquets. For solo travelers or families, 2121 Pantry and the food hall are the most time-efficient options.
- Expect heavier demand during conventions and arena events
- Allow extra time for full-service meals or choose grab-and-go on tight schedules
- Contact event/catering team ahead for group meals or private functions
| Situation | Best dining choice | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Tight schedule between sessions | 2121 Pantry or Showroom Food Hall | Fast, grab-and-go options |
| Evening group dinner | Woven and Bound or catered event | Reserve or check availability ahead |
| Late-night hunger | Woven and Bound (late hours) or room service | Woven and Bound lists late hours; room service runs 24/7 |
