In the second of two interviews recorded at the InterContinental Chicago Magnificent Mile, Alexandra LaLoggia, Director of Sales & Marketing at the hotel, checks in with A HOTEL PODCAST to talk about the past, present, and future of the InterContinental.

LaLoggia shares insights into the storied history of the property at 505 N. Michigan Avenue in Chicago. From the building's prohibition-era time as the Medinah Athletic Club to the regal junior-size Olympic pool to the time capsule still embedded in the hotel's exterior today. She also speaks on how the hotel's history informs both the recent renovations by KTGY Simeone Deary Design Group and the guest experience in the present.
