CHICAGO - First Hospitality, national hotel operations and development company, announces the official move of its headquarters from the Chicagoland suburbs to a state-of-the-art space in downtown Chicago to accommodate the company’s growing dynamic hybrid workforce.

First Hospitality will leverage its new office space to support its fast-growing portfolio and offer the increased efficiencies the central downtown location provides. The new offices provide First Hospitality employees with state-of-the-art facilities, equipment, technology, and amenities that will enhance productivity, growth, and collaboration.

First Hospitality commemorated the move with a Grand Opening celebration followed up with activities throughout the month to acquaint associates to the new building and neighborhood.
