With its extraordinary architectural design and aesthetics, the Aragon Ballroom is one of Chicago’s premier live entertainment venues. The Aragon Ballroom Chicago was built in 1926, and at a cost of $2 million, was one of the most elaborate venues of its time. Indeed, soon after its opening, the Aragon Ballroom was called 'the most beautiful ballroom in the world.' Crystal chandeliers, mosaic tiles, beautiful arches, extravagant balconies and terra-cotta ceilings combine to create a truly magnificent and unique venue in the Aragon Ballroom Chicago.
