Haidilao Hot Pot Coming to Tri-Branded Hilton

James McHugh Construction Co. has begun construction of a 7,000-square-foot Haidilao Hot Pot restaurant at 107 E. Cermak Rd., on the second floor of Hiltons at McCormick Place in the South Loop. Scheduled to open this December, the project marks the China-based global chain’s entry into the Midwest market. 

“We’re all looking forward to the days when we’re able to enjoy dining out with family, friends and colleagues in a lively environment, so it’s encouraging to see restauranteurs like Haidilao moving forward with their expansion plans,” said Terry Gillespie, senior project manager at Chicago-based McHugh.  

When complete, the two-level restaurant will include a 700-square-foot waiting area, main staircase and elevator just inside its street-level entrance. Haidilao’s second level will span approximately 6,300 square feet.
 
The tri-branded hotel was completed in 2018 with a white-box retail space for future tenants and a plan for landlord improvements to accommodate an incoming restaurant.
