In 1924, HRH the Prince of Wales initiated The Drake’s lasting tradition of serving as the Chicago home for the British royal family. Today, the property remains the quintessential and Chicago residence of American Presidents and A-list celebrities. So, whether the plans include a large-scale event with hundreds of guests, intimate nuptials with close friends and family, or something in between, an event at The Drake is destined to endure for all time as an experience to remember.
