Hyatt Regency
In 2009, the Hyatt Regency Chicago, the world's largest Hyatt, property boasting a staggering 2,019
guestrooms embarked on an ambitious renovation project divided into three phases. The first
phase, which unfolded in 2010, was a remarkable feat of efficiency. This initial stage zeroed in on the
west tower renovation, breathing new life into 962 guestrooms and 63 luxurious suites. The
undertaking was executed with remarkable speed, adhering to an aggressive 90-day schedule. This
renovation marked the commencement of a transformational journey for the Hyatt Regency
Chicago, setting the standard for the subsequent phases and ultimately rejuvenating the entire hotel
to offer guests an unparalleled experience.

Waldorf Astoria
Few hotels, if any, have been able to hold court like the 60-story Waldorf Astoria in Chicago. Travel

ownership with Laurence Geller, the Waldorf Astoria Chicago underwent a $22 million renovation in
2016. Among the changes, 26 suites were divided and converted to guestrooms (increasing the hotel
room count to 215), the spa was refreshed, a restaurant was added, and the courtyard was
