Recent Renovations Present an All New Waldorf Astoria Chicago

Just in time for the holiday season, renovations present an all-new Waldorf Astoria Chicago. The latest renovation project at the revered hotel began this past spring, bringing new updates across the property, including to some of the hotel’s dining venues.

The renovation brought in a new signature restaurant, a lobby lounge, and a cocktail bar. The hotel also made some updates to its spa. As well, the property saw improvements to its Presidential Suite and saw the inclusion of a new Astoria Suite.  

The recent improvements come from the same hospitality design and architecture firm behind the hotel’s original interior design more than a decade ago. It’s said the new improvements bring a refreshed modern design to the property, while still maintaining some of its classic appeal. 

The lobby lounge takes inspiration from the flagship hotel in New York, with a black and white marble fireplace and dark hues. Updates also brought back the former Bernard’s bar to its former space, after it closed a few years ago.

Brass Tack is something new, as it is the hotel’s new French brasserie. The guestroom and suites of Waldorf Astoria Chicago focus on black and white hues and floral headboards, designed to resemble a Parisian apartment.

The Presidential Suite and Astor Suite are accented with white hues and polished wood flooring. In addition, the Presidential Suite has its own wellness and spa room with Peloton bikes, an infrared sauna, and other wellness equipment. To accommodate other guests, the hotel’s Spa & Health Club facilities were refreshed, as well, with a new couple’s treatment room.
