The operator s debut in Chicago will form part of Sterling Bay s mixed-use development at 300 North Michigan Avenue, situated between the Riverwalk and Millennium Park. The 280-key hotel sits within a 47-storey tower that also comprises 289 residential units and 25,000ft² of retail space. Inside, CitizenM Chicago Downtown will feature an art-filled living room, 24/7 canteenM and three societyM meeting rooms. The building s facade will feature a commissioned piece by Illinois-born, New York-based Nina Chanel Abney, whose artwork will also appear in the entrance.
The addition will strengthen citizenM s presence in the British capital, where they already have locations in Bankside, Tower of London and Shoreditch.
Hospitality Financial and Technology Professionals (HFTP®) announced today that it rejected a recent unsolicited offer by the American Hotel and Lodging Association (AHLA) for it to merge with them. The HFTP Global Board of Directors determined that a global association with members from the entire hospitality spectrum would not be serving their membership by merging with a North American association with an advocacy focus whose constituents are primarily hotels. A counteroffer was made by HFTP to AHLA to work via MOUs like HFTP’s work with other hospitality industry associations.
