CHICAGO
Thompson Hotels has announced October 2013 as the opening of its 11th property, Thompson Chicago, as the company continues to expand its global portfolio of lifestyle hotels.
The first phase of the hotel opening will occur in October 2013 with reservations being accepted as of October 1 and the following phases rolling out through the end of the year. Located in the heart of Chicago’s famed Gold Coast, the 247-room hotel offers unobstructed city views of Lake Michigan and is just steps from Michigan Avenue, Oak Street boutiques and downtown dining and nightlife.
One Off Hospitality Group, the restaurant group behind critically acclaimed Chicago restaurants Blackbird, avec, The Publican, Big Star, The Violet Hour and, most recently, Publican Quality Meats, will open NICO at the hotel. NICO will serve Italian cuisine in a rustic yet elegant setting, with a focus on fresh pastas that are made daily and sourcing the finest seasonal seafood.
Thompson Chicago will also offer 12,225 square feet of flexible function space for upscale events and functions. Private dining rooms and a reception area, as well as six two-level penthouses will also be available for those seeking to host a special occasion.
