Officially open. Press release on Marriott website today. It mentions free brekkie but not evening apps, so going against RI standards. Given it's going to have both a bar and a restaurant, perhaps not so surprising.

"Situated in the heart of Chicago’s central financial district, the hotel offers an ideal location for business and leisure travelers alike. Its premier locale provides easy access to Chicago’s public transportation system, the nearby theater district, Millennium Park, State Street shopping, world-class dining, universities and museums. This prime location, coupled with the building’s historical significance and exceptional architectural detail, provided a perfect opportunity to convert the building into an extended-stay hotel.

The hotel encompasses a mix of studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom suites, many of which include original details and views of LaSalle Street. Naturally lit rooms average over 500 square feet and feature 10-foot ceilings, large windows and spa-inspired bathrooms with walk-in showers. The hotel will also offer a lobby bar and lounge, fitness center, business center, private meeting rooms and, like all Residence Inn hotels, free Wi-Fi, complimentary daily hot breakfast and a laundry facility for guests. A new restaurant is also slated to open in March 2016."
