Hotel in Chicago Transformed by $128 Million Restoration
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) April 16, 2008 -- A prominent national landmark, Chicago's "Hotel of Presidents," has opened as The Blackstone Hotel, a 332-room luxury Renaissance brand hotel. The Blackstone provided regal lodging for many of the 20th century's most famous figures - from a dozen U.S. presidents, including Franklin Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Harry Truman and John Kennedy, to Hollywood stars. Today, the hotel has been recreated, blending the legacy of its architectural heritage with the exceptional experience of a world-class hotel.
"The Blackstone's ambiance is a dynamic mix of historic architecture and savvy design combined with luxury amenities and thoughtful guest services that set the stage for an inspired, distinctly Chicago experience," explains Walter Isenberg, president and chief executive of Sage Hospitality Resources said. "We are honored to have played a part in leading the rebirth for this magnificent Beaux Arts treasure and in creating a hotel that even exceeds the properties rich history."
The $128 million showcase renovation of the long dormant, 23-story, Beaux-Arts building represents yet another significant development milestone in the renaissance of Chicago's South Loop downtown. The Blackstone Chicago hotel is on Michigan Avenue, in the heart of the city's arts and theater district and adjacent to the world class Millennium Park.
"The Renaissance brand is a showcase for expressive design, classic service and one-of-a-kind guest experiences," said Rita Cuddihy, senior vice president of Renaissance Hotels and Resorts. "The Blackstone is a perfect match with its savvy style, singular atmosphere and rich history."
