Starting a dedicated thread for the upcoming Le Méridien Essex Chicago, a rebrand of the historic and landmarked Hotel Essex at 800 South Michigan Avenue. This hotel sits right across from Grand Park and the lake, neighbors the Hilton Chicago and is walking distance to the Museum Campus. It's a beautiful renovation of a recognized 60s building, and a nice addition to Le Méridien's portfolio [nice to have an addition to it instead of another subtraction, for a change].
