Hotel Indigo plans for its third hotel in the Chicago market. The hotel, which will be located in the historic downtown area’s Atlantic Bank Building, is expected to open in spring 2014.
The
Hotel Indigo Chicago-Millenium Park hotel, located at 168 N. Michigan
Ave., will undergo an estimated $20 million renovation by the
ownership and will occupy a 101-year-old building that first opened
in 1912 as the Federal Life Building. The 156-room hotel will feature
design elements that reflect its local neighborhood just north of
Millennium Park within Chicago’s central business district.
As
part of the extensive renovations, the hotel will add four floors to
the building -- bringing the total to 16 stories – housing a
rooftop bar, and a restaurant managed by celebrity chef David Burke.
The hotel will maintain many of its historic features, including the
original white enamel terra cotta exterior, while including the
benefits and amenities guests expect from staying with a brand from
one of the world’s largest global hotel companies.
Set
in the heart of Chicago’s vibrant business district, and within
walking distance to many of Chicago’s best restaurants, shopping
and theater districts, the Hotel Indigo Chicago-Millenium Park hotel
will be conveniently located just steps from the Jay Pritzker
Pavilion and Millenium Park. The hotel will also be in close
proximity to the Magnificent Mile, Grant Park, the Art Institute of
Chicago and numerous corporate offices. Within a mile of Interstates
90, 94 and 290, as well as U.S. Highway 41, the Hotel Indigo
Chicago-Millenium Park hotel will be served by several bus and train
stops and will be close to the Chicago Cultural Center, one of the
city’s most popular sites for fundraisers, concerts and other
special events.
