NEW YORK, March 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Loews Hotels
& Resorts, a wholly owned subsidiary of Loews Corporation
(NYSE: L), today announced that the new Loews Chicago Hotel has
officially opened.
"Returning to Chicago with a
branded hotel has been a goal of ours for some time now," said
Jonathan M. Tisch, Chairman, Loews
Hotels & Resorts. "It is especially exciting for us to be
able to expand our footprint by adding such a spectacular property
at a time when Chicago is
thriving."
Located in the heart of Streeterville, the wholly owned Loews
Chicago Hotel sits just one block north of the Chicago River and
two blocks east of North Michigan Ave. The property features
400 guestrooms, including 25 suites; a signature lobby bar named
ETA; a celebrity chef-driven Argentine restaurant, Rural Society,
by Iron Chef Jose Garces; more than
29,000 square feet of innovative meeting space; a luxury spa and a
state-of-the-art fitness center with a 75-foot lap pool; and the
largest outdoor rooftop terrace in the city, Streeterville
Social.
Designed by Chicago's own
Simeone Deary Design Group and Solomon
Cordwell Buenz architects, Loews Chicago Hotel showcases the
essence of all things Chicago from
metals to wood to furnishings infused with modern touches.
The addition of the Loews Chicago Hotel further expands Loews
Hotels' footprint in the Midwest. During 2014, Loews Hotels
added hotels at Chicago O'Hare and in Minneapolis. The company
continues to seek to grow its brand in gateway cities and resort
destinations and just last month announced the intent to purchase
the 158-room Mandarin Oriental San Francisco Hotel.

New York City, Loews Hotels &

in the emerging city of Rosemont,
Ill. The new-build, 400-room Loews Chicago Hotel will debut
downtown in March 2015. Located in
