The current renovation seeks to polish three distinguished parts, bringing a building which was designed over thirty years ago into alignment with the most recent additions to Chicago architecture including the nearby Millennium Park, the Jay Pritzker Pavilion, the Chicago Historical Society and other internationally acclaimed works. The central vision behind the renovation is that of the atrium as a grand urban space, a place where the excitement of the milling crowd is amplified by the presence of extraordinary program elements; whether it be the functions of the hotel such as registration and concierge or the new lobby restaurant, The Market, Big Bar or a reinvented Stetson’s Restaurant. Each of these has been given a stronger identity within the lobby making the lobby the “heart and soul” of the hotel and a place which is easier to navigate and more energetic than ever.
