About Ambassador Gold Coast, a Member of The Chicago Hotel Collection

1301 North State Parkway, Chicago, Illinois 60610

A Chicago wedding can feel like a weekend shared with everyone you love. At Ambassador Gold Coast, a hotel with a story dating to 1926, the setting brings the city’s social history into your celebration.

Begin with the room that feels like you. The Ambassador Room occupies the former Pump Room, with sculptural globe lighting and a bar and restaurant setting for dinner, toasts and a lively reception. Just off the lobby, The Champagne Room Featuring Moët & Chandon pairs historic woodwork, arched entrances and intimate lounge seating with a built-in bar. On the 17th floor, the Terrace on Seventeen opens the occasion to Chicago skyline views.

The Marilyn Monroe Rooms and Astor Rooms offer further possibilities for ceremonies, rehearsal dinners and wedding-weekend gatherings. Our events team helps bring the room arrangement, menu, beverage service and flow of your occasion together. Explore on-site catering, bridal-suite availability and room-block arrangements as part of your proposal.

Hotel guest rooms and suites keep visiting loved ones close, with Lake Michigan and Michigan Avenue nearby for the rest of your Chicago weekend. Share your preferred date, guest count and what you want your guests to remember, and discover the spaces available for your celebration.
