CHICAGO
Chicago’s historic The Talbott Hotel, a Joie de Vivre boutique property, announced it will undergo extensive renovations, closing its doors on Jan. 1, 2017. When it reopens in May 2017, the hotel will unveil a fresh new look with updated interiors throughout by Chicago-based interior design firm Kara Mann Design.
This will be the largest update in the 16-story, 149-room Gold Coast hotel’s history.
The addition of brand-new guest rooms and suites will bring the total number of rooms to 179. In addition, all public areas will receive a refresh, including the lobby and meeting and event spaces. A new fitness center, as well as a new culinary experience for guests and groups to enjoy, will be added.
Once reopened, the hotel will retain its classic charm, European-inspired exterior design, and award-winning service. It will also include pet-friendly guest rooms and suites that are modern in design.
The Talbott Hotel is in discussions with a local restaurant group to oversee the hotel’s new food and beverage programming, including in-room dining. Additional details will be disclosed soon.
The renovated property will include meeting and event space for up to 200 guests.
