Looking for your next destination? How does a Chicago landmark reimagined sound? What about the vintage glamour meets contemporary elegance? Does a pioneering sculptress, as one of the few women in the field in the 1930s, intrigue you? Us too. So much so that she's our muse. Welcome to The Gwen. Join us inside where Gwen Lux's unabashed artistic passion is more than an inspiration; it is the fabric of our being in the rooms, in our lobby, and adorning the facade of the historic McGraw-Hill Building. We hope that if you stay with us, you participate in our daily 2pm tour as an Epicurean Experience and sensory storytelling session.
