Per Newsroom Hilton, the transformation of the guest rooms will feature a fresh blue and grey color palette with new furniture and also new built-in upholstered window seats where they can sit to enjoy the view outside. The new and magnificent LaSalle Ballroom will seat up to 300 guests and its foyer is perfect spot for a cocktail reception or exhibit space. Guests looking for a larger space can combine the LaSalle Ballroom with the State Room to span more than 9,000 square feet and hold 500 guests. The renovated rooftop would be perfect for guests looking for an outdoor venue for a wedding or a party where they can enjoy breathtaking views of the city skyline from the rooftop pool deck.
