Venue Features
The Scene:

Designed and built by acclaimed architect Philip Maher in 1936 and previously home to the Illinois Automobile Club and the Chicago Defender building, Revel Motor Row provides an impressive backdrop for any vision. The adjacent building and original home to the city's first Cadillac dealership, playfully dubbed "The Garage" adds flexible space to the campus. Four years of meticulous construction allowed the Revel Group to restore this building to all of its former glory with events in mind. 50,000 sq.ft in total event space, three floors and a 5,000 sq.ft. courtyard can help you bring your dream event to life. 

Design:
Spanish revival design meets art deco styling. Completely renovated and restored to showcase it's 1930's charm. 
Standout Venue Features:
All of the stained glass and plaster work was painstakingly restored after the building stood vacant for numerous years.

The main space, Packard, now filled in with concrete, once housed an Olympic style swimming pool when the building belonged to the Illinois Automobile Club. 
Awards & Notables City of Chicago Landmark Restoration Award.
