CHICAGO
Thompson Hotels has announced the opening of Thompson Chicago, the latest property in its portfolio of luxury lifestyle hotels. Located in the heart of Chicago's famed Gold Coast, the 247-room hotel debuts with unobstructed views of Lake Michigan and the Chicago skyline.
The hotel's guest rooms and public spaces are marked with understated elegance and a strong emphasis on texture and bold colors.
All of the Thompson Chicago's residential-style rooms and suites are appointed with Sferra Italian linens, bespoke furniture, modern art and a curated, fully stocked mini bar. The bathrooms are equipped with oversized terrycloth robes, modern rain shower heads and natural bath and spa products by REN.
Robust technology is found throughout each guest room, with many practical tech-friendly amenities available, including bedside lighting controls, nightstands with built-in USB chargers and an in-room entertainment system by Tangerine, which offers more free-to-guest options and high definition channels. Each room has its own ISP address and functions as its own hotspot for the convenience of the tech-savvy guest.
Additional amenities include 24-hour in-room dining, a 1,000-square-foot 24-hour fitness center, complimentary Wi-Fi up to 1MG, fresh roasted coffee and tea by Intelligentsia in the lobby each morning, and complimentary car service to downtown Chicago.
For dining, Nico Osteria will bring authentically Italian seafood to the heart of Chicago's Gold Coast upon its December opening. Helmed by Chef Erling Wu-Bower under the direction of James Beard "Outstanding Chef" Award-winner Paul Kahan, Nico Osteria will offer house-made pastas, fresh seafood and crudos that are complemented by Pastry Chef Amanda Rockman's unconventionally creative and approachable style.
The hotel also offers 12,225 square feet of flexible event space. With the ability to host up to 250 guests, the lux property also offers a team of expert event and meeting planners who specialize in providing personalized service and creating tailored experiences with state-of-the-art AV technology and catering menus under the direction of Nico Osteria's Chef Wu-Bower.
Private dining rooms with reception areas, as well as six two-level Thompson Loft Suites are also available to host special events, meetings and intimate cocktail receptions. Three Thompson Loft Suites feature private outdoor terraces, offering stunning city and lake views.
