Hyatt Centric Chicago Magnificent Mile has completed a multiphase renovation encompassing guestrooms, suites, meeting and event spaces, as well as its signature restaurant and lounge.
Managed by Atlanta-based Davidson Hospitality Group, the refreshed property is designed to capture the essence of Chicago’s Streeterville neighborhood. The redesign—led by Anderson/Miller in collaboration with Hyatt Hotels and Jones Lang LaSalle —looks to reflects a modern and inviting approach centered around creativity, comfort and connection.
“The completion of this extensive renovation represents an exciting new era for the Hyatt Centric Chicago Magnificent Mile,” Joe Pinto, general manager, said in a statement. “Our goal was to create spaces that energize and inspire our guests while celebrating the culture, color and vibrancy of Chicago itself.”
Guestrooms and suites feature custom artwork, playful color palettes and abundant natural light, according to the company. Design details include accents of teal, orange, pink and green, complemented by warm wood tones and mid-century modern influences. Reimagined lighting adds layered illumination designed for both function and ambiance.
The hotel’s Grand Ballroom and meeting spaces, the first phase of the renovation, draw inspiration from “Where the City Meets the Lake,” with blue and copper tones, walnut accents and bronze details designed to evoke the movement of water. The space includes metal mesh ceiling panels and upgraded technology across 20,000-square-feet of flexible meeting and event space.
The property also introduced a new restaurant and lounge, The Bridge Kitchen + Cocktails, designed as a social hub to celebrate Chicago’s culinary spirit. The space combines warm contemporary design, curated neighborhood-inspired art and an open bar layout connecting the dining and lounge areas, according to the company.
Local artistry is featured prominently throughout the property and a new sky bridge provides direct indoor access to Northwestern Medicine’s Galter Pavilion. Sustainability also was a focus of the renovation with initiatives that include refillable water stations on every floor, reduced single-use plastics, food composting, paperless operations and energy-efficient LED lighting and low-flow water fixtures.
