We often get requests from brides to help them make their wedding "vintage chic." This can translate so many ways: from the decor and tabletop, to printed materials and a supper-club vibe, there are many fun ways to bring that charming "vintage Chicago" feel to a wedding. I now have a new favorite. The old Ambassador East was bought last year and is opening this fall as an Ian Schrager hotel, PUBLIC. {Mr. Schrager is the brains behind Studio 54, and some of my favorite hotels: The Delano in Miami, The Mondrian in LA and the Hudson in NYC). His mantra is simple: A beautiful, polished and clean hotel with impeccable service. Taking that philosophy and putting it in to the charming old hotel on State and Goethe is beyond exciting. It's going to be fresh, pretty and most likely, a really fun scene. The iconic Pump Room {every famous crooner from the 50s ate here, Frank Sinatra even mentions it in "My Kind of Town") will keep its name, just get a facelift for menulift {farm-to-table! yay!} and the tradition and history from the room will stay in tact. We think that this will be such a fun spot for brides who want to really have that "vintage chic" wedding - the outside of the hotel has that incredible vintage feel, but the inside will be the chic. And what fun for Chicago to have its very own Ian Schrager hotel... I cannot wait! It's set to open September 12.
