Few cities celebrate St. Patrick’s Day quite like Chicago. Every year the city transforms into a sea of green — from the famous dyed Chicago River to packed streets, bars, and parties across downtown. It’s one of the biggest weekends of the year, drawing locals and visitors alike for a full day (and night) of celebration.
This year, The Chicago Hotel Collection is hosting two signature St. Patrick’s Day events, each offering a completely different experience. One takes the celebration 29 floors above the city skyline, while the other brings classic Chicago glamour and nightlife energy to one of the city’s most historic event spaces.
Whether you’re looking for rooftop views and DJs or a stylish indoor party with elevated vibes, these two events are designed to capture the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day in Chicago.
Emerald Ascent: St. Patrick’s Day on the 29th Floor Rooftop
The Chicago Hotel Collection Magnificent Mile

For those looking to celebrate high above the city, Emerald Ascent transforms the 29th Floor Rooftop at Magnificent Mile into one of Chicago’s most exciting St. Patrick’s Day parties.
Set against sweeping skyline views, the rooftop becomes a vibrant celebration filled with DJs, cocktails, dancing, and a crowd ready to keep the energy going all day long. The event brings together the festive atmosphere of St. Patrick’s Day with the elevated nightlife experience the Magnificent Mile rooftop is known for.
Guests can expect:
• DJs and high-energy music throughout the event
• St. Patrick’s themed cocktails and drinks
• Panoramic city views from the 29th floor
• A rooftop crowd dressed in green celebrating the holiday together
The event also includes fun St. Patrick’s themed moments like a “Best Dressed in Green” contest where the winner receives a VIP table for a future event, adding an extra layer of excitement to the party.
Between the music, the skyline backdrop, and the festive crowd, Emerald Ascent creates the feeling of a city-wide celebration happening above Chicago.

Two Events. One Legendary Chicago Weekend
St. Patrick’s Day weekend in Chicago is always unforgettable, and The Chicago Hotel Collection is bringing two completely unique celebrations to the city.
You can spend the afternoon or evening high above Michigan Avenue on the Magnificent Mile rooftop, then continue the night surrounded by historic elegance at the Ambassador Gold Coast.
Both events capture a different side of Chicago’s nightlife — from modern rooftop energy to timeless Gold Coast glamour — while celebrating one of the city’s most iconic holidays.
And for guests traveling into the city for the weekend, staying with The Chicago Hotel Collection means being just steps away from the celebrations, with exclusive direct-booking perks waiting at check-in.
Chicago only turns green once a year — and this is your chance to celebrate it in style.
