The Historic Talbott, a Joie de Vivre Hotel in Chicago, to Undergo Extensive Renovations with Spring Reopening Planned

. December 19, 2016

CHICAGO, IL. December 19, 2016 - The Talbott Hotel (20 E. Delaware Pl.), a Joie de Vivre boutique property, will undergo exciting and extensive renovations, closing its doors on January 1, 2017. When it reopens in May 2017, the hotel will unveil a fresh new look with updated interiors throughout by celebrated, Chicago-based interior design firm Kara Mann Design. This will be the largest update in the history of the 16-story, 149-room Gold Coast hotel built in 1927, with brand-new guest rooms and suites that will bring the total number of keys to 179. In addition, all public areas will receive a refresh, including the lobby, and meeting and event spaces. A new fitness center, as well as a new culinary experience for guests to discover, will also be added.

“We're very excited to breathe new life into the space and amplify the already extraordinary experience of this beloved property,” said The Talbott Hotel General Manager Morgan Bailey. “The team and I are looking forward to reopening The Talbott and welcoming our guests back again.”

Once reopened, the hotel will retain what guests have always loved: its classic charm, posh Gold Coast neighborhood location, European-inspired exterior design, and award-winning service. The pet-friendly guest rooms and suites will be modern in design, technology, and amenities, yet not pretentious.

The Talbott's employees - over half of whom have been at the hotel for 10 years or more - will be kept on throughout the duration of the renovation and involved in the final preparation process for the hotel's re-launch in May. Employees will also be partnered with the community for volunteer opportunities while the building is under construction.

The Talbott Hotel is in discussions with a local restaurant group to oversee the hotel's new food and beverage programming, including in-room dining. Additional details will be disclosed soon
