1 MIN READ – In late summer, the Loop is getting a 350 guestroom dual-branded hotel complex at the historical 117-year-old site of the former headquarters to the Chicago & North Western Railways at 226 W. Jackson—Canopy by Hilton Chicago Central Loop and the Hilton Garden Inn Central Loop.
Each hotel has its own concept and amenities that make it unique. Both hotels include restaurant and lounge venues, fitness and meeting centers, outdoor terrace space, and more.
The Chicago & North Western Railways location at 226 W. Jackson is considered a landmark, and the property will preserve the rich history of the original transportation headquarters with its upscale design. The plan will integrate exquisite elements of the building's history that honor and uncover its past. The original staircase will remain intact, and tile remnants will be integrated into the lobby space. Several mixed media artworks, historical artifacts, and architectural remnants will be combined with a space that celebrates travel, cartography, and Chicago’s rich history.
