Spago Chicago

Been here 2x for private events & be warned it's a bit hard to find... The Gleacher Ctr is on an elevated street level that doesn't quite show on Google maps. Some parts are nicer than others (best: corner spot with 2 walls of windows; worst: stuffy lecture hall for ~50; meh: conference rooms for ~12). Catering was pretty good, although not all staff members are equally helpful (I'm vegan; asked 2 staff members before I got solid answers)

Great conference centre. Spacious and decent meeting rooms.

I have had several business\social events here and you can't beat the location on the river and the price. Staff is great and very accommodating and I would highly recommend choosing Gleacher over a hotel or other venue. They took time to understand our event and our needs and I felt like they were an essential part of our team and not just a vendor. Catering is from Wolfgang Puck and was excellent and competitively priced. They flexed with our timing and did not nickle and dime us for a few extras that they provided. They have provided the best venue, service and experience for my company and my guests out of any other event that I have held in Chicago.

Great downtown facilities for the Booth part-time MBA program. The Hyde Park campus is much better though. Also, the Booth bookstore is here.

Beautiful place! Perfect for a nice, elegant event with wonderful views!

Attended a CPWA examination class here and was blown away by the facility, the staff and the environment. Despite being from New England it made me contemplate coming back here to get my MBA.

I have to rated it Awesome after my lost wallet with lots of cash turned in... Not to mention its nice classroom setting for conferences, meetings, great locations, parking options, the catering is ok to my opinion.

Beautiful and well-lit building. Relatively convenient location in the River City North area. Good parking too.

Great location for conferences. I went there for the LSA conference. Very close, in downtown Chicago and next to hotels.

Home to the business school and Graham school, great location for the working professional.

Visited here for a conference. Very nice facility and neighborhood on the Magnificent Mile.

Good ol University Chicago - and with their downtown location. Don't forget to look at the wall of Nobel prize-winning photographs. Ask Which floor ..

The bookstore for UC mementos is on the first floor.

It is a great building in the middle of downtown. It has incredible views to the Chicago Tribune and other landmarks. The staff is very professional. The conference rooms are nice and the dinning experience if attending a conference is great.

Gleacher is great. This place houses some serious brainpower.

World class graduate business education in the heart of America's Great City!

It's a good place for school. There is really nothing else at this location.

Went here for a company training. Very nice building and the classroom layout was very nice.

Top notch facility, world class business school. Nothing compares to it, especially in the Chicago area.

Amazing urban graduate school campus. Great class rooms, conference rooms and speaker venues. Catering is handled well. Parking exists, but it's a bit tricky to find. Check if the front desk can provide validation. The building location is gorgeous.

Very nice building for UChicago students. There's a secret bar in the building too

Went to a talk. Impressive bar but the food ran out well before the reception was over. As for the talk, a Sticker Center event, it was interesting but we now know (since the next invited speaker is Steve Bannon) the point was more provocation than anything else.

One of the best graduate business schools on the planet!

Amazing location for a conference! Located in the heart of Chicago!

Modern, spacious and bright. We came to the center as part of our company's executive education program. The building is located in the heart of downtown Chicago right next to the river and cityfront plaza.

The University of Chicago Booth School of Business Executive Education lives up to its name not just because of its beautiful and luxurious building, spacious, comfortable and modernly furnished classrooms, but because of the programs and world class education offered here.

A great facility. Lecture rooms and study rooms are comfortable and have the latest technology. Great events happen here. I love this place.

Great facility. Took a strategy class here and enjoyed the entire week. They have a UofC bookstore on the first floor.

They offer some of the greatest programs for professionals in the state of Illinois.

The heart of it all. University of Chicago business economics

A great venue for conferences, and the food was great!

Was able to see and hear all the speakers. Great location for conferences.

Chicago Booth school of business location. Overlooks the river. Office facility clean and new.

UChicago A space where students can feel free to visit and study. The view from the third and fourth floors is fine because I am looking at the river. Booth seems to chase out the regular students, but it does not seem to matter.

Used the conference center for a day of workshops. Space clean, very attentive help, food a tad pricey.

We have held our annual corporate event at the Gleacher Center for years. We look forward to returning every year. The facility, location, staff and food are exceptional.

Great academic conference center
All the best technology. Comfortable chairs and good catering.
Should definitely be on your target list for a small conference.
Set in the beautiful surroundings of the university of Chicago, be sure to come by!

It is a nice venue for a conference and a good location

Nice facility; I sometimes take evening classes there, but have also attended events.

Used the conference center for a seminar and everyone was helpful, space was perfect and the location is right on the river.

Great lecture hall where some of the world's foremost economics experts taught

Right off the beaten path of Michigan Ave with great facilities

Great place in a cool part of downtown. Right by Magnificent Mile and all the shopping and next to the Chicago River, NBC tower and Tribune Tower. A good place to have any type of event, and there are great views from the windows.

Very good facilities but a little confusing on the location.

Light airy building for University of Chicago Bloom School students. Nice store on first floor with school clothes, books and supplies. The staff could use a bit of training. There is no way possible that the school could have hired a more unfriendly and surly student to work in their store. She was clearly unsuited to assist customers on any level. I asked a building employee where a particular lecture room was. He gave me the wrong information. Really lovely building. Try to avoid main floor staff.

The building is in a great location. The bookstore offers huge collection.

Recently went to Senator Dodd and Hank Paulson discuss the crash of 2008. Very nice space Univ. Of Chicago has for their business school.

Elegant architecture and quint wood detailing makes the entire inside, and the location is near impossible to beat

Excellent facility, don't forget to check out the store on ground floor for Momento and books

Nice bar on the 5th floor to rub. Cafeteria food is mediocre.

Typical nice Chicago building with cool architecture and amazing views. Classrooms are near and equipped with top technology.

Clean, comfortable seating, options for theatre or small group tables. Solid AV support. Great for NAMIC Communications & Marketing conference. (Less than 100 attendees)

Great place for a conference. Nice speaker's area and great food. Staff were helpful

Excellent and impressive meeting location for groups of around 150. There may be larger spaces too, but for our size group it was really nice.

Where UofC evening and weekend business school is located...ranked #1 in Finance by U.S. News!

The Gleacher Center really is an outstanding place. Primarily it hosts graduate programs for the University of Chicago, but spaces can be reserved by others in advance.

The spaces are very well kept, and the service is very professional and efficient. There is a wide variety of spaces in terms of size, as well as a small cafe.

University of chicago executive education takes place here. If you are here do visit the model price hall of fame on the 6th floor

Terrific, well-located, beautiful setting for conferences / classes. Almost co-located with the Intercontinental Hotel. Modern, spacious, with wi-fi connectivity and a great book store downstairs. Stunning views from the lounges facing the river / lake. Not as close to the L as you'd want, though (Clark/Lake-blue and Grand-red are a good walk). You pay for the love, however...UofC is market-rate.

Beautiful building, helpful desk attendants, great classes.

Very nice conference area with very public reminders of all of the U Chicago Nobel Laureates. Hard to not feel inspired here.

The best in business. A world class center with an amazing views. Cant ask for more
