The Executive Plaza Hotel Chicago |
Chicago, IL - January 2002 - The historic building with the instantly
recognizable façade, anchoring the east end of Wacker Drive, The
Executive Plaza Hotel at 71 E. Wacker Drive, will undergo a $20 million
transformation in 2002. The magnificent new showcase that the Wacker Drive
renovation will provide coupled with the dynamic creation of the yet to
be named new hotel, will offer an outstanding complement to Chicago�s new
landscape.
The profound changes that the yet to be named hotel will undergo are dramatic. This stylish yet functional oriented project will also have a restaurant and lounge that will cater to a sophisticated, urban consumer. The hotel can best be described as a �lifestyle hotel� that will focus on the customer, and the experience they want. To properly thank the city for the huge endeavor they have undertaken in the Wacker Drive renovation, the hotel has placed a heartfelt banner above the entrance that states �Thank you Mayor Daley for the Wacker Drive Renovation�. The renaissance of this area in the city, on the river and with unrestricted access to all that the city has to offer, made this the opportune time for Boykin Lodging to embark on this project. Boykin Lodging Company is a real estate investment trust that focuses on the ownership of full-service, upscale commercial and resort hotels. The company currently owns 33 hotels containing a total of 9,249 rooms located in nineteen states, operating under such internationally known brands as Doubletree, Marriott, Hilton, Radisson and Embassy Suites, among others.
