Certainly not the new operator and design team
responsible for the recently renovated Silversmith
Hotel Chicago. Behind the building's brick and tile
façade designed by D.H. Burnham and Co. in 1897,
they saw the bones of a new kind of boutique hotel
that could shine on Chicago's Jewelers Row. But it
was clearly going to take inspiration and innovation to transform this diamond in the rough into a
head-turning competitor in a red-hot hotel scene.
The previous hotel featured an arts and crafts
design with lots of oak wood, ironwork and dark
earth tones. "Prior to the renovation, there was a
disconnect between the hotel design-traditional,
casual, residential in feel-and its location in the
heart of downtown Chicago," says Carla Niemann,
senior vice president of design for Remington
Hotels, the property's operator since Ashford
Hospitality and Trust purchased the hotel in 2012.
Moreover, the hotel lacked a strong street presence-a deli and jewelry store occupied the first
floor and registration was on the second floor.
"We wanted to reposition the hotel as a high-end
independent, with a design that provides excitement
and intrigue from the street," Niemann explains.
Remington tapped Leo A Daly to craft a contemporary interior design that pays homage to the art deco
era and plays off the hotel's Jewelers Row location.
"When we saw the geometric lines on the building's
façade, the design just seemed to come together-we
decided to emphasize the glamour of the art deco
period and design a unique, inviting space," says
Patricia Miller, principal-in-charge at Leo A Daly.
To create a sense of arrival and a vibrant street
presence, the design team removed the retail and
restaurant and gutted the first floor. They retained
some original white marble and ironwork by the
stairs because they worked with the new design and
put the lobby and registration area front and center.
The 13,000-sq.-ft. ground floor is a study in
glamour, with an onyx, pearl and silver palette
accented by colorful jewel tones of citron, ruby rose
and amethyst. Metallic sheers in the floor-to-ceiling
windows catch the light and grab people's attention
as they walk by.
High-contrast details work to bridge the
elegance of Burnham's original vision with elements
