Starwood’s Le Meridien brand will make its Chicagoland debut in early 2014, transforming the interiors and exterior of a former Renaissance hotel. Le Méridien Chicago – Oakbrook Center will combine timeless, chic design with sophisticated amenities upon completion of its $20 million renovation. Plans call for a new arrival experience, re-imagined public spaces, a new bar and restaurant concept, rooftop terrace, and a fitness center. In addition, the hotel’s 172 guestrooms and suites, including a presidential suite and two spa suites, will be refurbished.
