February 18, 2016 – A “tri-level rooftop venue” at LondonHouse will offer dining and drinking indoors, outdoors, and in the cupola.
The 452-room hotel will open this spring on Wacker Drive and include a new 22-story building, LondonHouse Tower, squeezed between the former London Guarantee Building and Mather Tower.
New renderings show a rooftop terrace, an indoor bar on the 21st floor that will serve “re-imagined American fare and craft cocktails,” a new ballroom, and a bar, called Bridges, that will be located in the second-floor lobby.
The cupola, one of the beaux arts domes that adorn the roof, will be turned into a private dining area, one story above the terrace. The hotel calls this “in-dome dining.”
