Thomas J. Klutznick Company_Projects_Hotels_The Peninsula Chicago, Chicago
In a city known for its rich architectural heritage and its bold-and-brawny sensibility, The Peninsula presents a mix of modern and retro elements in a direct and straightforward style reminiscent of the company's flagship property in Hong Kong. Underpinning the architecture and elegant accommodations is the ease and service that has become synonymous with The Peninsula - service that many hoteliers promise but few are able to provide.
As with its sister properties, this hotel is one of character and opulence. Features of this property include:
- 339 of the largest standard guestrooms in the Chicago market. All guestrooms include elaborate, five-fixture marble bathrooms with television and hands-free telephone operable from the bathtub; a state-of-the-art, touch panel electronic system that allows bedside control of the room temperature, lighting, privacy function, valet call, audio/visual controls and alarm clock; and oversized desks with two-line telephone, silent fax machine and data-port for high-speed internet access.
- 80 suites including the 3,500-square-foot Peninsula Suite with a formal dining room, terrace and hot tub.
- The Lobby, an elegant room having massive windows and enormous gold-leafed domes in its intricately designed 25-foot-high ceiling, offers breakfast, lunch, dinner and high tea.
- Avenues, the hotel's fine dining room with views overlooking the historic Water Tower, features "Cuisine de la Mer" prepared in an exhibition kitchen, extensive wine display and a private dining room.
- The Bar, a comfortable and clubby destination with "live" music, a comprehensive port wine and cigar selection and light dining.
