centre for hosting

Rosemont, Illinois is a one stop centre for hosting all kinds of events from cultural entertaining concerts to professional business meets. An enigma in its right, it is home to some very popular centres, ballrooms, theatres and arenas that have witnessed unforgettable events.

One such centre at Rosemont is the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center which has a flexible exhibit space of 840,000 square feet that can be divided into smaller halls as per requirements. While the convention centre has a huge 30,000 square feet dedicated to its registration area it includes six halls in its two-level structure. A highlight at the centre which can be enjoyed by visitors and exhibitors during events is the Donald E. Stephens Museum of Hummels which has a collection of almost one thousand M. I. Hummel figurines, the largest being eight feet tall.

The Donald E. Stephens Convention Centre has a parking facility that can accommodate almost 8,000 cars and a sky bridge that connects the centre to the parking lot and three hotels. Transportation in Rosemont is taken care of as it is located at a distance of just two miles from the O'Hare International Airport and a few blocks from the Tri-State toll way. The station at Metro's North Central Service has weekday rail services to and from Anitoch, Chicago and Illinois.

Adjacent to the Convention Centre is the Donald E. Stephens Conference Center and Ballroom which has up to 50 meeting rooms with a total floor space of 92,000 square feet. The Conference Centre has been a preferred venue for innumerable corporate meetings and events while the lively, well-decorated Ballrooms have created apt atmospheres for many social events and corporate dinners too. The Conference Centre provides excellent catering services through Rosemont Catering with different cuisines options for guests.

Apart from these Centres and Ballrooms, Rosemont is also home to one of Chicago's largest indoor entertainment facility, the Allstate Arena that is ideal not just for sporting events and concerts but also for meetings and conventions thanks to its flexible staging and floor configurations.

Another venue worth mentioning is the Rosemont Theatre which has been tastefully designed with mahogany-trimmed lobbies and state-of-the-art audio-visual technology to match. The Rosemont Theatre is usually booked for world-class entertainment shows, extravagantly rich productions and the evergreen Broadway musicals. Occasionally, the centre is also booked for meetings and conventions.

Accommodation is easily available as Rosemont's prime location has made it accessible to some of the best hotels in the area which are at close proximity to Rosemont. While there are major hotel chains of the Global Hyatt and Hilton Hotel Corporations, budget friendly, functional and well maintained options are also available.

Rosemont's hospitability combined with its assorted facilities and state-of-the-art technology have made it one of the most preferred centres for organizing events and meets as it can offer not just the essential purpose but also additional experiences.
