Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel Chicago


Radisson Blus, in case you didn't know, have a rep for their design in Europe and are finally bringing some of that cachet to Chicago. Jeanne Gang of Studio Gang Architects designed the building, of course, but for the hotel interior, Rad went with Glasgow-based designer Jim Hamilton of Graven Images. Hamilton nods to our industrial past in the use of weathered steel and polished gray concrete. Elsewhere, the new hotel sports a wall-to-wall screen of interconnected Egyptian brass medallions, a flying staircase weighing 20 tons and a 12,000 square foot ballroom with a dramatic LED-lit ceiling. Christian Lundwall designed the guest rooms, which come in Mansion House or Naturally Cool looks. The Blu Aqua is also pursuing a Silver LEED certification, so consider it a bit blue-green.

The Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel in Chicago was developed by Magellan Development Group. Magellan Development Group is a reputable real estate development firm known for its expertise in urban residential, commercial, and hospitality projects. They have a successful track record of delivering high-quality developments in major cities across the United States.

The Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel stands as a landmark in Chicago's downtown area and was designed by the award-winning architectural firm Studio Gang Architects. The development blends contemporary design with sustainability features, offering guests a luxurious and eco-friendly experience.
