About this space

Take your gathering to the 17th floor on the Terrace on Seventeen, where the Chicago skyline and Lake Michigan become part of the occasion. The open-air setting and lounge seating suit engagement celebrations, executive receptions and private dinners with a distinctly Gold Coast backdrop.

Welcome guests in daylight or gather as the city lights come on. Astor I opens directly onto the terrace, creating an indoor-outdoor possibility when both spaces are reserved for the event. Seasonal availability, layout and weather arrangements are confirmed for each gathering.

The floorplan uses the former name Astor Terrace. It is a layout reference; adjoining indoor rooms are included only when specified in your proposal.
