With an abundance of loft spaces, warehouses, boutique hotels and access to some of the country’s best restaurants, Chicago is one epic city to host a holiday party in. Gather your company’s top performing employees for an intimate dinner in the city or rally the troops from every branch of the organization and hit the town for a posh night of celebrating the season. Pop champagne around a fireplace or have your very own award show in a local theater. We’ve got all the ideas, you just need to bring the team along for a good time. Reporter: Alyssa Brown

Warehouses typically make for excellent event spaces, as they tend to be known for their high ceilings, wide-open space, big windows, and textural details. Bonus points for warehouses with an interesting story or cool history behind them, as these are the kinds of venues that present a real sense of place for partygoers. We’ve taken a tour of the best industrial spaces around the world and we’re bringing you everything from a warehouse built on a farm in West Australia to an industrial loft space fit for a fashion shoot in NYC. Whatever your warehouse style, we’ve got you covered. Reporter: Alyssa Brown
