The conversion of FOUND Hotels, Chicago advances the partnership established in September 2025 to convert a portfolio of FOUND Hotels into Series by Marriott properties. All managed by FCL Management, the evolving pipeline will continue to expand across major U.S. markets, including San Francisco and San Diego, and already includes leisure destinations such as Santa Barbara and Santa Monica, CA, and Miami.
“We’re focused on delivering a hospitality experience that reflects the spirit and vibrancy of Chicago while continuing to build on what has made this property a favorite among travelers visiting River North,” said Brian Nolen, GM, FOUND Hotels, Chicago. “Becoming part of the Series by Marriott collection allows us to pair the personality and style of an independent hotel with the trust, recognition and enhanced benefits that today’s guests value.”
Inspired by the character of Chicago, the hotel’s interiors draw from the city’s iconic skyline through a palette of terracotta tones, warm woods, historic masonry influences, and contemporary accents. Guestrooms unveil light refreshes, including updated casegoods and the transformation of full and queen rooms, while public spaces feature refreshed furnishings and updated design elements. The hotel also introduces Lost & FOUND, a new coffee concept serving guests daily from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m. Additionally, the hotel will debut a new coworking space, meeting room and a gym this summer.
The FOUND Hotels brand has been developed by Hawkins Way Capital since 2016.
