Serving the Loop and Near North neighborhoods of downtown Chicago
Photo: Wallenda, T team up to promote Fairfield hotels

Mr. T and Nik Wallenda May 22, 2016 – (Left) Two awesome guys with Chicago connections, helping Marriott International sell its Fairfield Inn & Suites brand.

Nik Wallenda (right), who high-wire walked across the Chicago River on November 2, 2014, did a high-wire walk over The Flatiron Building, the 22-story triangle-shaped building in New York, on May 17 to promote the hotel.

Chicago native Lawrence Tureaud (aka Mr. T) is currently starring as “Mr. Guaran-T” in a new series of commercials for Fairfield. They met up at a television event in New York.

“What an inspirational individual,” Wallenda says of Mr. T. “He was the same man in the green room as he was in front of the crowd.”
