Tribute Portfolio Debuts in the Chicago Loop with the Opening of The Midland Hotel
Pyramid Global Hospitality and Tribute Portfolio, part of Marriott Bonvoy's global portfolio of more than 30 extraordinary hotel brands, announced the opening of THE MIDLAND HOTEL, Chicago, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel. Formerly the W Chicago City Center, this refreshed Chicago Loop hotel is embarking on an exciting two-phase reimagination.
Owned by Park Hotels & Resorts and managed by Pyramid Global Hospitality, The Midland Hotel is perfectly positioned in the heart of the vibrant Chicago Loop. Steps from iconic landmarks like Millennium Park, The Art Institute of Chicago, and the Chicago Theatre, it's the ideal base for exploring the city's energy and history. Guests can also enjoy breathtaking views from the Willis Tower Skydeck or unwind along the Chicago Riverwalk, making every stay an unforgettable Chicago adventure.
"We are excited to collaborate with Pyramid Global on this exceptional opportunity to reposition this Chicago landmark, which holds strong appeal for both business and leisure travelers," said Thomas J. Baltimore Jr., Chairman and CEO of Park Hotels & Resorts.
Revitalization: A Vision in Two Phases
The Midland Hotel is undergoing a thoughtfully planned two-phase revitalization, blending its historic roots with a modern vision. Originally built in 1929 as a social club for Chicago's business elite that later evolved into "Chicago's Friendliest Hotel," the first phase focuses on revitalizing public spaces while preserving the timeless Beaux-Arts charm that has defined its legacy. This includes a reimagined lobby and arrival experience designed to celebrate its history as a place for connection and inspiration, while embracing the needs of today's guests.
The second phase will transform the hotel's 403 guest rooms and suites into tranquil retreats, featuring plush bedding, skyline views, and a contemporary sophistication that nods to the hotel's storied past. Enhancements to public spaces and the signature restaurant will infuse modern vibrancy, while the 12,589 square feet of versatile meeting and event space will be upgraded to elevate the standard for gatherings in Chicago's Loop.
