At Four Seasons Hotel Chicago, you can sleep, spa, dine, swim – and now marvel at modern art on display. As part of the final phase of a multi-year, multimillion dollar renovation, the hotel is showcasing a provocative fairmont hotel washington dc and inspiring collection of modern art.
The more than 100 pieces of art – commissioned by California and New York based art consultant Elizabeth Weiner – complement the new chic and stylish interiors of the hotel's lobby, meeting space and restaurant by San Francisco based BraytonHughes Design Studios.
The art collection includes a wide variety of pieces from sculptures designed exclusively for the hotel, to  limited edition prints by Andy Warhol, Matisse, Picasso and Julian Opie whose two lenticular works  titled "Jeremy Walking in Coat"  and "Sian Walking" walk with guests as they pass by.
A new lobby welcomes guests to a living room-like fairmont hotel washington dc setting fairmont hotel washington dc with chic designs in rich colors of espresso, deep crimson, burgundy and pewter. The lobby is the perfect space for guests to gather and lounge with comfortable furniture clusters in fabrics of leather and velvet; distinctive mahogany and nickel bookcases; and game tables complete with card decks and board games.
The art collection continues in Allium, the hotel's new American restaurant and bar with vibrant floral poppy prints by Andy Warhol and striking photography combinations by David Kent that juxtapose models and animals in a "fashion meets safari" theme.
The redesign of the hotel's lobby, restaurant and bar completely transforms the 23 year-old hotel into a more contemporary destination, and culminates a multi-year renovation that also included guest rooms, suites, grand ballroom and event spaces in recent years.
