About Us

Imagine yourself in 1930's Chicago.

Chicago celebrated its centennial by hosting the world's fair in 1933.

The speakeasies and gangsters were thriving.

It was a distinguished time in Chicago's history.

The Gwen has a glorious past and an even more glorious future.

Rooted in the history and heritage of downtown Chicago in the 1930's, the Gwen serves as a city emblem of this golden era and yet is poised to bring luxury to a future generation of worldly travelers.

This unmistakable inspiration comes to life with our historic façade, famously created by sculptress Gwen Lux in 1928.

A female artisan making a mark in a predominantly 1930's, male design city depicts and exciting atmosphere of change.

The building has been home to many stories in an illustrious past.

Health, dental and vision are just a start.

We offer unlimited career potential, top of the line training, free lunch, Ventra Transit Benefit and we also provide your uniforms.

Now we're inviting you to re-create the Gwen experience.

Let it be a canvas for your own personal stories.
