Chicago Loop eatery serves artisan cuisine and handcrafted cocktails within an open-kitchen environment.
CHICAGO – Situated in the heart of Windy City's central business district, Residence Inn Chicago Downtown/Loop invites both corporate and leisure travelers to salivate over its newest addition.
Open seven days a week, Roanoke enters Chicago Loop's restaurant scene serving American artisan cuisine for lunch and dinner, as well as brunch on the weekends. The eatery boasts an open-kitchen layout spotlighting a hearth oven, rotisserie and carvery, where patrons can watch chefs prepare seasonal and locally sourced ingredients, resulting in sensational entrees such as rotisserie prime rib dip and roasted cauliflower salad. Offering convenient access from both the hotel's interior and exterior, the restaurant exudes an elegant atmosphere effortlessly blending contemporary decor with subtle accents reflecting design from the Prohibition era.
As a part of the hotel's lobby, Roanoke's warm and inviting bar is the perfect spot for local business professionals and tourists alike to unwind after a busy day of work or sightseeing. The tavern offers an impressive menu of wine varietals, craft beer and classic cocktails for guests to sip and savor as they enjoy casual conversation or watch one of Chicago's top sports teams on flat-panel HDTVs.
When visitors stay at Residence Inn, they'll be within walking distance to several downtown hotspots. Theater lovers can take a five-minute stroll to witness award-winning Broadway musicals and plays at the PrivateBank Theatre (formerly Bank of America Theater). Just a half mile away, Millennium Park is home to unparalleled architecture, gorgeous gardens and spectacular collections of public art for travelers to enjoy. For a sky-high experience, guests can head up to the 103rd floor of Willis Tower, the tallest building in the West Hemisphere, and take in adrenaline-pumping views from encased glass balconies extending four feet outside the skyscraper.
Following an adventurous romp, visitors will love returning to the Residence Inn's boutique-style suites, which come complete with complimentary high-speed internet access, fully equipped kitchens and soaring sights of the Chicago Loop. If guests are unable to go grocery shopping during their extended stay, the downtown hotel will generously pick up and deliver requested items straight to their refrigerators and pantries. Select accommodations feature separate areas for sleeping, lounging and dining, offering a more home-inspired ambiance for families and large groups.
Every morning, hungry guests can satisfy their rumbling stomachs with a free breakfast buffet, serving a delectable selection of hot favorites and on-the-go offerings. After fueling up, athletic travelers can burn off a few calories at the hotel's nicely appointed exercise center, which includes high-tech cardio and weight machines from Life Fitness.
