Schaumburg Hotel & Convention Center
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Renaissance Schaumburg Hotel and Convention Center, located in Schaumburg, Illinois at I-90 and Meacham Rd, opened its doors in July 2006. The 500-room hotel is run by Marriott under their Renaissance brand. The property features a 100,000 sq. ft. exhibition hall, 48,000 sq. ft. of meeting room space, and a 28,000 sq. ft. ballroom, all of which can be divided to provide many configurations.
Construction began on the $156 million facility in July 2004 and took two years to complete. The property is owned by the Village of Schaumburg, who chose John Portman & Associates of Atlanta as the architect and Walsh Construction of Chicago as the general contractor. The original design also called for an $80 million performing arts center but that portion of the design has been tabled for now. The convention center hosted its first event, the USA Gymnastics Tumbling & Trampoline National Championships, from July 5-14, 2006. The hotel's first guests checked in on July 17, 2006.
