About The Drake Hotel

The Drake Hotel is the crown jewel of Chicago's Gold Coast — a 1920 Italian Renaissance landmark at the northern terminus of the Magnificent Mile that has hosted royalty, presidents, and celebrities for over a century. The hotel's Gold and Silver Ballrooms retain their original grandeur of gilded plasterwork, crystal chandeliers, and sweeping lake views, making them perennial favorites for Chicago's most prestigious galas, weddings, and corporate dinners. Its storied history includes visits by Queen Elizabeth II, Princess Diana, and Winston Churchill.

What Our Clients Say

Thousands of Chicago travelers book with Royal Carriage for airports, weddings, and corporate travel.

“Our September wedding needed 3 vehicles — a Rolls Royce for us, a stretch limo for the bridal party, and a Sprinter shuttle for 14 guests. Every driver arrived 20 minutes early to the Drake. The coordinator handled our timeline flawlessly from ceremony through the reception at the Peninsula.”

Arriving at The Drake Hotel — The Drake Hotel

Arriving at The Drake Hotel

The Drake Hotel sits at 140 E Walton Pl on the Gold Coast, at the northern end of the Magnificent Mile. Its Walton Place porte-cochere sees steady luxury traffic, so our chauffeur times the pull-up and stages at the correct entrance for the Gold or Silver Ballroom. Gold Coast parking is valet or garage, so we release guests curbside and hold the vehicle nearby. For a 1920 landmark that has hosted royalty and presidents, a coordinated arrival keeps your party stepping into the historic lobby with the grace the address calls for.

Events at The Drake Hotel — The Drake Hotel

Events at The Drake Hotel

The Drake hosts up to 1,000 guests in its Gold and Silver Ballrooms, running Luxury Weddings, Corporate Galas, Holiday Parties, and Debutante Balls beneath gilded plasterwork and crystal chandeliers. A 1,000-guest event on the Gold Coast needs staged transport so the Walton Place porte-cochere stays clear. For Luxury Weddings and Corporate Galas, vehicles sync to the program; Holiday Parties and Debutante Balls run formal and prompt. With the ballrooms' lake views drawing the city's most prestigious events, planning against that 1,000 capacity keeps a Gold Coast gala flowing from curb to ballroom.

Getting to The Drake Hotel in style — The Drake Hotel

Getting to The Drake Hotel in style

A prestigious Gold Coast event deserves an arrival worthy of the 1920 landmark at the top of the Magnificent Mile. A Rolls-Royce Phantom or Bentley Flying Spur frames the couple or VIP host at 140 E Walton Pl, while a Lincoln stretch limo keeps the wedding party together for the Gold or Silver Ballroom. A Cadillac Escalade carries close family or executives with comfort. We match the vehicle to the occasion, time the pull-up to the Walton Place porte-cochere, and stage each car so guests step into the historic lobby in sequence rather than crowding the curb. Reserve the arrival at (224) 801-3090.
