I Hotel and Conference Center

The I Hotel and Illinois Conference Center is a AAA Four-Diamond property located on the south campus of the University of Illinois in Champaign, Illinois. With more than 125 hotel rooms and over 70,500 square feet of meeting and event space, the property serves as a full-service destination for weddings, corporate conferences, and private celebrations of all sizes. The Illinois Conference Center anchors the property's event offerings, with three primary ballrooms ranging from the 3,893-square-foot Chancellor Ballroom to the expansive Heritage Hall, a divisible exhibit space spanning 11,500 square feet. The Illinois Ballroom seats up to 380 guests for banquet-style receptions, while Heritage Hall accommodates up to 750 at banquet or 1,200 theater-style. A dedicated event management team coordinates each function, and in-house catering is available through both the University of Illinois Catering team and the on-site Houlihan's Restaurant + Bar. Beyond the event spaces, attendees have access to complimentary parking, hotel room blocks, in-house floral arrangements, and custom digital signage. The property's location within walking distance of State Farm Center and Memorial Stadium makes it a natural choice for events tied to University of Illinois athletics and campus activities.
