Midwest Incentive Blitz Spotlight: Coquette Wine Bar & Restaurant and Bambola Restaurant, Chicago

Hello, Chicago! We are back on the road and you are our second stop on our Midwest Incentive Blitz on Wednesday, September 25th. And for you, we have two very special venues lined up that will take you on a very colorful international journey for your senses.

Our first stop, Chicago’s cutest little Parisian bistro, featuring our Destination Showcase, is a pink, Parisian dream. Coquette pays tribute to style, with a vibrant interior, using bold colors and geometric shapes to express a postmodern aesthetic sensibility. We thought the layout would be perfect for our Destination Showcase!

Our second stop takes us to Bambola Restaurant for our Luncheon. Located in the Fulton Market District, Bambola is a restaurant and cocktail bar inspired by the allure of the legendary Silk Road in Chicago. Multiple spaces and menus are bursting with dishes, drinks and furnishings sourced from Italy to Turkey and beyond with a mix of influences from the East and the West, in both food and design of the restaurant.

With the visual ambiance of a museum, although more welcoming, with textiles and chandeliers from Italy, along with 18th and 19th Century antiques and furnishings sourced from China, Thailand, Burma, Pakistan and India will take you on a colorful visual journey.

Come join us on Wednesday, September 25th at Coquette Wine Bar and Restaurant from 11:00 am – 12:30 pm for our Destination Showcase, followed by our Luncheon at nearby Bambola Restaurant from 12:30 pm – 2:00 pm. We look forward to being back in the Windy City!

We look forward to welcoming you to Coquette Wine Bar & Restaurant and Bambola Restaurant and the second stop on the Midwest Incentive Blitz!

Midwest Roadshow Incentive Blitz Stop #2 – The Pendry Chicago

What’s up, Chicago! It is our inaugural tour of the Midwest and our second stop on the 2023 Midwest Roadshow Incentive Blitz brings us to…. The Pendry Chicago!

Set within the iconic 1929 Art Deco Carbide & Carbon Building in Chicago’s Loop neighborhood, Pendry Chicago is a contemporary hotel that is the right balance of luxury and comfort and inspired gathering spaces throughout that embody the spirit of Chicago. Its prime location sets the very best stage for discovering the city and its brightest attractions with ease and convenience.

The tower’s iconic art deco-styling has made it an inseparable part of the city’s skyline. According to an urban myth of the era, the Burnham Brothers designed the building to resemble a dark green champagne bottle topped by a gold foil. Who wouldn’t be drawn to a magnificent bottle of champagne?

Dining options at The Pendry include Venteux, “windy” in French as a nod to the Windy City, where a distinct Parisian-inspired setting sets the tone for this French brasserie, café and oyster and champagne bar with a modern take on French cuisine.

Bar Pendry is a Pendry signature, their version of the classic hotel bar, tailored to Chicago’s distinct sense of style in a rich, moody space with a central fireplace making it cozy for guests to enjoy libations all day into the evening.

And finally, Château Carbide, located on the 24th floor, is where an al fresco rooftop plays host to outstanding skyline views of Chicago in a one-of-a-kind airy atmosphere.

Come join us in Chicago at The Pendry on Thursday, July 27th from 10:00 am – 12:00 pm for our Destination Showcase in Gallery Ballroom followed by Lunch reception from 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm in Chateau Carbide rooftop. We look forward to welcoming you to Chicago and the second stop on the 2023 Midwest Roadshow!
