New St Regis Hotel opens in Chicago’s third tallest skyscraper

St Regis comes to Chicago: Marriott International has reached an agreement with the Magellan Development Group to rebrand the skyscraper project in the coveted Lakeshore East neighborhood, previously known as the “Wanda Vista Hotel” and “Vista Tower”. The new St Regis Chicago is scheduled to open in July 2021. However, the first of the total of 393 residences will be ready for occupancy as early as December of this year.

Once completed, the 101-story skyscraper, construction of which began in 2016, will be the third tallest building in the metropolis and will offer a sweeping view of the Chicago River to the north, Lake Michigan to the east, Millennium and Grant Parks to the south and the Loop Skyline to the west. The hotel itself consists of 158 rooms and 33 suites, but these are located on the lower eleven floors of the three interconnected towers.

The culinary concept of the St Regis Chicago will be the responsibility of the Michelin-starred Alinea Group. The plans include a restaurant open all day with a view of the Chicago River and a sky bar with terrace. A spa, a fitness center and an indoor pool with an outdoor terrace will complete the facilities.

The 393 residences are spread over floors 13 to 93 and, according to US media, prices start at around one million US dollars. The largest penthouse with a private outdoor pool will cost around 17 million US dollars. Marriott has not yet published any pictures of the St Regis Chicago. We have therefore used the pictures of the Wanda Vista Hotel, which you can see below.
