Located in the heart of Chicago, just A Whisper Away From The Most Magnificent Mile, Hotel Saint Clair announces its relaunch this month as Chicago’s newest independent boutique hotel. Housed in a building dating back to the 1920’s, the hip hotel offers reimagined interior spaces, an art-inspired lobby, The Hot Coffee Shop and Curfew, the new restaurant operated by celebrity Chef Fabio Viviani.
Built in 1926 and originally opened as the Hotel Eastgate, the building features Spanish Revival style architecture and a brick façade. Taking inspiration from the building’s origins, it has been rebranded as The Hotel Saint Clair, located “A Whisper Away From The Most Magnificent Mile”, highlighting the property’s prime location and ties to the past.
With interior spaces designed by Barker Nestor Architecture & Design, the hotel’s common areas meld wooden accent walls, industrial ceilings, pendant lights, a live wall, mosaic tile and welcoming seating areas. The lobby features a gallery wall complemented by living plants and abundant greenery; it flows directly into Curfew, the hotel’s new restaurant, where guests and locals alike can enjoy delicious food and craft drinks from the restaurant or The Hot Coffee Shop throughout the day.
One of the most exciting additions to the Hotel Saint Clair is the opening of Curfew. Operated by celebrity chef and renowned hospitality developer Fabio Viviani, Curfew offers the perfect fusion of a classic American lounge with an elevated dining experience with Spanish, American, and Italian flavors. The warm and welcoming bar area offers floor to ceiling windows, communal tables and booths, along with a large patio for al fresco dining during the summer months. Curfew’s menu is an eclectic blend of small, shareable plates combined with American classics developed from family recipes with a modern twist.
Guests can also enjoy breakfast from The Hot Coffee Shop, also operated by Chef Viviani, offering Italian-style beverages, smoothies and baked goods throughout the day. Room service is available from Curfew as well, offering breakfast lunch and dinner options sure to delight.
All 206 guest rooms at Hotel Saint Clair have a modern, yet comfortable aesthetic. High-end touches include Italian Aqua Mellis bath amenities, oversized gel fiber pillows and lush textured linens, with sleeping rooms designed to reflect the energy of Chicago.
Just A Whisper Away From the Most Magnificent Mile, Hotel Saint Clair offers easy access to the Gold Coast, Theater, and Financial Districts. Lake Michigan beaches and parks are located just a few blocks east of the hotel, and the McCormick Place Convention Center is 3.5 miles away.
