The Restaurant at Ambassador Chicago, JDV by Hyatt

"The location is as stellar as always, and the legendary Pump Room restaurant is still there, though the design is all new"

"The Pump Room, a dark and clubby celebrity haunt since the 1930s, is now an open and airy Jean-Georges Vongerichten restaurant, with a galaxy of gently glowing orbs suspended like planets throughout"

"After hours, the restaurant becomes a bar with a DJ, tapas-style dishes and a resident mixologist"

"The one concession to the swish life is Jean Georges' revamp of the legendary Pump Room restaurant"

"This “stunning” Ian Schrager boutique “tucked away” on the Gold Coast is an “elegant redesign” of the old Ambassador East, with a "friendly" staff that offers “prompt” service and “stylish” rooms outfitted with Frette linens and flat-screen TVs; adding to the appeal are free WiFi, iMacs and outlets in the lobby, free loaner bikesand the “beautiful” Pump Room (a former “stomping ground of Frank Sinatra”), which flips from daytime restaurant to nighttime “hot spot” where you can “grab a drink and people-watch"
