The Dana Hotel (660 N. State) cranked up the heat on Jan. 18, when nearly 600 guests turned up to celebrate the return of the Vertigo Sky Lounge’s seasonal ice bar. Perched 26 floors above the city, revelers stayed warm by sipping Svedka cocktails from the frozen bar, mingling inside or gathering around the fire pit on the outdoor balcony. Throughout the Splash-sponsored event, Kristen Amato’s K. Amato spring 2013 jewelry collection was on display for partygoers to admire. The Sun-Times was the media sponsor of this event.
