Sax Chicago (ex Loews House Of Blues)

The Sax Chicago's interior design incorporates an eclectic mix of Gothic, Moroccan and East Indian styles. Antique Indian panels fill the area behind the front desk.

The property is centrally located in the landmark Marina City on the Chicago River and close to Chicago’s "Magnificent Mile". Right next-door one finds the hotel’s namesake, The House of blues Music Hall. The eclectic décor is as noteworthy as its concerts. Chicago is synonymous with the birthplace of the infamous Chicago style Blues. From the Blues came most of America’s music forms including rhythm and blues and rock and roll. The Sax Chicago is "where it’s at", musically speaking.
