The Penthouse Hyde Park beautifully blends history and modernity into one incredible space. Events feel invigorated in our breathtaking ballroom with show-stopping 20′ arched windows showcasing the Chicago skyline and lakefront. French doors lead guests from the ballroom to the outdoor terrace to experience these unparalleled rooftop views in 3D. The famed Piccadilly Building played a key role in the vibrant Hyde Park culture. Home to a high-end hotel and the locally beloved Schoenstadt Theater, visitors were enchanted with its ornate combination of French Renaissance style and Art Deco touches. However, the hidden gem was perched on the top floor: a refined ballroom and outdoor terrace. Often referred to as the roof garden or the tea room, the ballroom served as a stately place for all sorts of occasions. Local aristocrats filled their social calendars with everything from engagement parties to brunches and even small exhibitions. The Piccadilly Building underwent substantial improvements within the last 10 years. In 2020, The Penthouse Hyde Park proudly claimed the gorgeous top floor and began renovations. Out of respect for the building’s historical and architectural significance, we went to great lengths to preserve the ballroom’s original features while adding modern twists that speak to today’s audience. This evolution embodies the best of the 1920s and the 2020s.
