Published on January 22, 2025

Pyramid Global Hospitality, in partnership with Tribute Portfolio—part of Marriott Bonvoy’s global collection of over 30 exceptional hotel brands—has officially opened The Midland Hotel, Chicago, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel. Formerly known as the W Chicago City Center, this revitalized gem in the Chicago Loop embarks on an exciting two-phase transformation to reimagine its legacy and guest experience.

Prime Location in Chicago’s Iconic Loop

Owned by Park Hotels & Resorts and managed by Pyramid Global Hospitality, The Midland Hotel offers an unbeatable location in the heart of the Chicago Loop. Just steps from iconic landmarks such as Millennium Park, The Art Institute of Chicago, and the Chicago Theatre, the hotel serves as the perfect starting point for exploring the city’s vibrant energy and rich history. Guests can take in breathtaking views from the Willis Tower Skydeck or relax along the Chicago Riverwalk, ensuring a memorable stay in one of America’s most dynamic cities.

“We are excited to collaborate with Pyramid Global on this exceptional opportunity to reposition this Chicago landmark, which holds strong appeal for both business and leisure travelers,” said Thomas J. Baltimore Jr., Chairman and CEO of Park Hotels & Resorts.

A Two-Phase Transformation

The Midland Hotel’s revitalization embraces its historic 1929 roots while introducing a contemporary vision. Originally designed as a social club for Chicago’s business elite, it became known as “Chicago’s Friendliest Hotel.” The first phase of the reimagination focuses on enhancing public spaces, including a refreshed lobby and arrival experience, blending the timeless elegance of Beaux-Arts design with modern conveniences for today’s travelers.

The second phase will elevate the hotel’s 403 guest rooms and suites, offering tranquil retreats with plush bedding, skyline views, and sophisticated touches that honor its storied past. Upgrades to public spaces, the signature restaurant, and 12,589 square feet of versatile meeting and event space will further position The Midland Hotel as a premier destination for business and leisure in the Loop.

Culinary Highlights at Midland Social Club

The hotel’s signature Midland Social Club & MSC Bar invites guests and locals to savor regionally inspired dishes, creative cocktails, and a lively social atmosphere. Drawing inspiration from Chicago’s rich culinary tradition, the dining venues aim to foster genuine connections, offering a vibrant addition to the city’s renowned food scene.

Exclusive Experiences with Marriott Bonvoy

As part of Marriott Bonvoy’s Tribute Portfolio, The Midland Hotel enables members to earn and redeem points during their stay. Guests can take advantage of the Marriott Bonvoy app for contactless check-in, mobile key access, and other digital conveniences that enhance their experience. To celebrate its grand opening, The Midland Hotel is offering an introductory rate of 15% off for stays through April 30, 2025, inviting travelers to discover Chicago’s finest boutique hotel in the Loop.
