By Gabriel Circiog, Associate Editor

Nobu Hospitality LLC recently announced plans for a new development in the West Loop of Chicago. The new luxury boutique Nobu Hotel and Restaurant Chicago will be located on the corner of Randolph and Peoria Streets and is scheduled to open early 2016.

“Chicago’s tourism industry continues to see record growth because renowned venues like Nobu are investing in expanding options for Chicagoans and tourists,” says Mayor Rahm Emanuel “This hotel and restaurant builds on the city’s great hospitality and culinary offerings to further cement Chicago’s role as a world-class city.”

The development is inspired by the world-renowned Japanese Chef Nobu and championed by Academy award-winning actor Robert De Niro and Hollywood producer Meir Teper. Nobu Hotel will feature 155 luxury rooms, the Nobu Restaurant, an indoor and outdoor bar, a rooftop lounge and venue and exclusive guest room retreats. The designer of the project is Shaw Sullivan, partner and studio leader at the Rockwell Group, a company that has designed numerous Nobu projects on a global scale over the past twenty years.

“The City of Chicago is an extremely important destination for Nobu Hospitality and our shareholders Chef Nobu, Robert De Niro and Meir Teper. As one of the key global cities of the world, Chicago is already a magnet for business and leisure travellers offering unique venues for dining, entertainment and enjoyment, and we look forward to embracing the values, the traditions and desires of the people of Chicago,” says Trevor Horwell, chief executive of Nobu Hospitality. “We also look forward to be working with the City of Chicago to deliver a unique and special destination for Chicago which reflects our overall growth strategy of expanding with other properties to 24-hour gateway cities, both in the U.S. and internationally.”
