so after yesterday’s posting of The Wit, i started looking at other new hotels in chicago. the long awaited Elysian finally opened. the pics above show one of the 2 restaurants, the lobby, as well as a guest room. personally, i find the rooms boring. but the rest is gorgeous.

since i posted the restaurant at The Wit, figured it was worth posting some pics of the interior. its pretty gorgeous. the hotel is designed by Cheryl Rowley, Jackie Koo and The Johnson Studio.
