Champagne Room Chicago (officially The Champagne Room Featuring Moët & Chandon) is the Gold Coast’s newest place to raise a glass: a Moët-forward champagne lounge inside Ambassador Gold Coast at 1301 N. State Parkway, in the room that was once the Library Lounge. It opened with a VIP night on Friday, September 18, 2026 and a public Grand Opening on Saturday, September 19, and it now pours every night of the week, with a live jazz trio on Fridays and Saturdays from 8:30 to 11:30 PM.
Why Champagne Room Chicago has people excited
The Champagne Room earns a destination trip: champagne from a named house, intimate seating that still has a pulse, and live music on the calendar every weekend. Moët & Chandon is the first featured champagne house, and the room belongs to The Chicago Hotel Collection, the group behind Ambassador Gold Coast.
You come for a mood: historic bones, contemporary champagne service, caviar and seafood meant for lingering, and a jazz trio that turns Friday and Saturday into a night out. This is the kind of Gold Coast evening you put on the calendar and still talk about on the walk home.
The room: Library Lounge bones, champagne-forward pulse
The Champagne Room sits inside Ambassador Gold Coast on State Parkway, a historic property with intimate seating and woodwork that already knows how to hold a conversation. It is built for celebrations and social nights: a luxury champagne lounge with late dining and live entertainment.
The footprint is intimate, warm and dressed for lingering, with salon seating, a proper bar and table service that puts champagne and cocktails at the center. Groups, private celebrations and corporate gatherings can be arranged with the team through the contact form on the house site.
A September debut, and a regular rhythm since
The room opened with a guest-list VIP night on Friday, September 18, 2026, followed by a public Grand Opening on Saturday, September 19, from 8 PM to 1 AM: champagne, caviar, fresh seafood, cocktails, live entertainment and a Champagne Chic dress code for a 21+ crowd. Regular reservations opened on September 20, and the lounge has kept a nightly schedule ever since.
Moët, late plates, and the jazz residency
Drinks: the Champagne Collection leads with Moët & Chandon and adds prestige bottles, flights and large formats. There are wines by the glass, signature Champagne cocktails and timeless classics, plus a Reserve Bar of rare spirits, flights, celebration experiences and zero-proof selections. This fall, an Autumn After Hours drink menu joins the list.
Cuisine: a raw bar, caviar and composed plates designed to go with an evening of Champagne. Caviar service arrives with egg mimosa and potato chips, the raw bar sends out king crab and oysters on ice, and a Seafood & Shellfish special menu rounds out the table.
Jazz: a live jazz trio plays every Friday and Saturday, 8:30 to 11:30 PM. Settle in with champagne and late plates while the trio plays.
Coming up: A Fall Affair, a ticketed autumn evening of Moët, caviar, seafood and live jazz, takes over the room on Saturday, October 24, 2026, from 8 PM to 1 AM. It is 21+.
