“Granite or quartz for kitchen countertops made an immediate visual impact thats helps affordable units look like market-rate units” - Sandya Dandamudi

For some of the hotel’s most intricate and distinct renovation details, McHugh worked with Chicago-based commercial stone subcontractor GI Stone, who sourced, fabricated and installed nearly 20,000 square feet of stone, with approximately 8,000 square feet dedicated to the lobby and restaurant floor.

The newly renovated Four Seasons Hotel Chicago embellishes its five-star experience with its redesigned rooms and lobby, city-inspired amenities, and breakthrough restaurant and bar.

“The reception desks had to be elaborately ‘bookmatched,’ a process where multiple slabs are ‘opened up’ and polished on surfaces facing each other to create a mirror image,” explained Sandya Dandamudi, President of GI Stone. “And to match the original stone of the hotel’s grand staircase, we traveled to a quarry in Italy to find the perfect slab.”
