The Hyatt Regency Chicago has introduced its fifth dining concept with the launch of the Living Room, designed by Locust Valley, New York-based architecture firm Bentel & Bentel. The addition of the new bar and lounge was part of the hotel’s recent 12,000-square-foot expansion. Housed on the second floor of the West Tower, the relaxed yet upscale space doubles as a breakfast and dinner venue in addition to a bar.
The space reflects the natural elements of the Chicago area including Lake Michigan and the dunes found on its shoreline. The lightly colored granite bar countertops complement the lounge’s other stone surfaces while tan, coffee, light gray, and soft brown tones from the wood, leather upholstery, and carpeting establish an inviting space for guests.
