Go 'Beyond the Bedroom' with Van Gogh and Waldorf Astoria Chicago
In celebration of this historic event, Waldorf Astoria Chicago is offering guests the complete fine art experience in the hotel room and beyond with the “The Bedroom” package. Available February 15 – May 9, 2016, this artfully crafted package includes*:

  • Two VIP tickets to “The Bedroom” exhibition, allowing guests to forgo lines

  • Complimentary cocktails for two at the hotel's intimate Bernard's Bar

  • Breakfast for two to enjoy at Balsan or in-room dining

  • Special souvenir door handle card, beautifully designed with the namesake painting from the exhibition



Van Gogh's “The Bedroom” exhibition features 36 works by the artist and engaging interactive presentations, including a digitally enhanced reconstruction of his bedroom, allowing visitors the chance to experience his state of mind and the physical reality of the space that inspired him. The exhibition provides an in-depth study of the artist and his relentless quest for home, specifically his beloved bedroom in Arles, France – arguably the most famous bedroom in the history of art.

To toast the partnership, the Waldorf Astoria Chicago has also created a specialty cocktail, “The Vincent,” which will be available at Bernard's Bar. Made with vodka, yellow chartreuse, absinthe and lemon juice, this cocktail is inspired by the artist's love affair with absinthe and the “Yellow House” in Arles, France, home to the bedrooms.

As an additional nod to Van Gogh, Waldorf Astoria Chicago will be offering a one-of-a-kind interactive painting party in collaboration with Bottle and Bottega on Thursday, February 4, 6-9 p.m. ($50 per person). Guests are invited to recreate one of the artist's best known paintings and take an epic journey through Van Gogh's exquisitely executed and inspiring masterpiece accompanied by sharp angles and bold contrasting colors.
