FIRESIDE LOBBY HAPPENINGS
MODERN TEAIn keeping with the cutting-edge design of the hotel, our Modern Tea provides a unique take on the classic tradition. Offered on weekends from 2 to 4 p.m. throughout our Fireside Lobby, the afternoon tea service features sweet and savory bites paired with a selection of seasonal teas from Rare Tea Cellars.
LIVE MUSIC
Tuesdays: The soulful voice of Chicago songwriter Phillip-Michael Scales fills the Fireside Lobby from 6 to 8 p.m. The nephew of music legend B.B. King, Scales grew up listening to the music of Motown, Soul and Blues. Performed on acoustic guitar, Scales’ passionate and heartfelt ballads provide the perfect soundtrack to unwind from your day or jump-start the evening.
Fridays: From 6 to 8 p.m., jazz vocalist extraordinaire and composer Morgan Pirtle, a recent recipient of the DownBeat Student Music Awards 2018 “Outstanding Performance” award, is accompanied by talented guitarist, composer and bandleader Aaron Day.
SPECIAL EVENTS
The Write Stuff: The art of poetry comes alive one Wednesday each month from 5 to 7 p.m. when we host the wordsmiths behind Poems While You Wait. They show up with their trusty typewriters and you bring an idea for a poem. Return in 15 to 20 minutes and your personal bon mots are ready to take home. While the experience is free of charge, the end result is priceless.
