Opened in the fall of 2022, a seven-story addition to Navy Pier is the first hotel at Chicago’s well-known landmark. The hotel adjoins the existing Festival Hall convention center and will include 223 guest rooms, a fitness room, a business center and gift shop. Each of the guest rooms will feature a lakefront view from the south side of the pier. 

The hotel guests have direct access to the convention center as well as a future restaurant on the lower level of the hotel and the new Rooftop Venue, Offshore Roof and Bar, located above the entrance to the existing Ballroom. 

The construction of this seven-story addition has shown unique structural challenges due to the age of the pier, but the meticulous engineering and design appear to be well worth the additional time to complete the structure. AKT Peerless has remained well informed of the construction schedule and essential on-site activities since the commencement of the project. All of the aspects of the construction are routinely communicated to the Lender to keep them current on the management of the project schedule and budget.
