The Park Hyatt Chicago on Chicago's Magnificent Mile has reopened following $60 million in renovations to guestrooms and common areas

Park Hyatt Chicago Reopens After $60M Refresh

The Park Hyatt Chicago has resumed operations, unveiling a $60-million redesign of guestrooms and public spaces. Located along the Magnificent Mile at 800 N. Michigan Ave., the property opened in 1980 as the first Park Hyatt hotel.

Founder Jay Pritzker imagined a one-of-a-kind retreat that embodied understated luxury and served as a home away from home for guests. The reopened property, with 146 guestrooms and 36 suites, maintains the original vision, according to Park Hyatt.

“For this renovation project, we focused on lightening and brightening the hotel’s interiors to create a more modern space, while maintaining the understated luxury of the Park Hyatt brand,” said Rike Erdbrink, the hotel’s general manager. “We are incredibly proud and excited to reopen our doors and provide our guests with a luxurious hotel experience with rooms and suites that are an oasis of calm within our electric city.”
