Fairmont Chicago, Millennium Park, which completed a dramatic $50 million renovation in 2009, has been accepted as a new member of Associated Luxury Hotels International (ALHI). Ideally located in downtown Chicago overlooking picturesque Millennium Park and Chicago’s impressive lakefront, the AAA Four-Diamond hotel will now receive dedicated National Sales services and support by ALHI and its professional sales force throughout North America to the meetings and incentive marketplace.
ALHI (www.alhi.com) is a prestigious dues-based membership National Sales organization that represents more than 130 Four- and Five-Diamond quality hotels and resorts worldwide to meeting professionals, association executives, incentive/recognition specialists and business executives interested in conducting programs at the member properties. There is no cost to planners’ or executives’ organizations to utilize the National Sales services of ALHI, as its members’ dues fund the organization to serve planners.
Fairmont Chicago, Millennium Park becomes ALHI’s fourth member hotel in Chicago, joining the elegant and sophisticated InterContinental Chicago on Michigan Avenue, the spectacular Sofitel Chicago Water Tower overlooking Lake Michigan, and the magnificent AAA Five-Diamond, Forbes (Mobil) Five-Star Peninsula Chicago.
“Chicago continues to be an incredibly popular choice for meetings programs,” said David Gabri, president and CEO of ALHI. “We have so many accounts seeking to headquarter their program in the city that we decided to augment the outstanding Chicago portfolio members based upon the accelerating demand being generated for the destination. We are very proud to add the truly impressive Fairmont Chicago, Millennium Park to our exclusive membership. The AAA Four-Diamond hotel has been further transformed with a $50 million renovation that only accentuates the beauty and functionality of the hotel. We can’t wait to show it to you!”
