Park Hyatt Chicago's Flagship Restaurant NoMI Evolves

NoMI, the Chicago luxury hotel’s flagship restaurant, will reopen on June 3 under the NoMI lifestyle brand with four elements of Park Hyatt Chicago’s seventh floor: NoMI Kitchen, NoMI Lounge, NoMI Garden, and NoMI Spa.

We are thrilled to unveil the rebirth of the seventh floor and look forward to offering guests a new standard of excellence through our range of experiences as a premier luxury hotel destination,” said Rick Segal, Managing Director, Park Hyatt Chicago.

The downtown Chicago restaurant, NoMI Kitchen, will be the centerpiece of Park Hyatt Chicago’s seventh floor renovation, which will include an extraordinary redesign of the kitchen, lounge, private dining spaces, garden; and new NoMI Spa concept. NoMI Kitchen is based on the idea that the center of the home is the kitchen, where family and friends gather; an everyday occasion place. The unique design presents the kitchen as the focal point and showcasing the culinary team and featuring a prominent Molteni stove. A new artisanal cheese cave with the finest imported cheese will be located in the downtown Chicago restaurant’s Wine Cellar. NoMI Garden will add a new backdrop to the outdoor terrace with a 30 ft. natural teak wood bar with black granite countertop.

Contemporary tones with dark browns, creams and pops of color will infuse the space with warmth and complement the restored details of the original mosaic tile floors. The renowned Dale Chihuly handblown glass sculptures will be repositioned in the private dining rooms. The artistic “Wintry Branches” will adorn the space located above the dining rooms coveted window tables and specially commissioned photographs will enhance the interior and overall experience.
