The Marriott Marquis Chicago has made its debut in the city’s entertainment and convention district of McCormick Square. Designed by locally based interior architecture practice Anderson/Miller in collaboration with Gensler, the 1,205-room property is the largest hotel to open in Chicago this year and the largest Marriott opening in North America this year.
Crafted with a clean, contemporary design, the 40-story glass hotel is anchored in the historical fabric of Chicago with a physical connection to the American Book Company building. A tranquil lobby with white oak millwork, leather upholstery, and modern seating welcomes guests. Angular motifs appear throughout the tower, reminiscent by the city’s bridges. Minimalist guestrooms ensure comfort with a cool palette of gray and white to complement skyline views. Each room is outfitted with lightbox artwork that depicts bridges and other Chicago landmarks. The onsite art program includes work from more than 30 locally based artists displayed in public areas.
