Elysian Chicago Gives a Sneak Peek of Its Rooms and TV Mirrors
The Elysian Chicago's grand-opening date got pushed back to mid-November, but the hotel's giving us a taste of what to expect in its 188 guest rooms and suites, which include high-tech amenities like television mirrors.
Averaging at 890 square feet, rooms are decked out in grays and other muted shades. And they all have marble bathrooms with soaking tubs, furnished balconies fireplaces and kitchens. But the perks we like most are the free wireless and the dual vanities with inset SÉURA LCD televisions in the bathrooms. When you turn it on, the LCD picture floats on one of the two mirrors. When you turn it off, the LCD vanishes, leaving behind a normal-looking mirror. What fun it'll be getting ready at the vanity for a night on the town; the downside is that it'll add another hour to our prep time for sure.
The rooms also have other geek-out-worthy technology, such as touch-screen Voice-over-IP telephones with complimentary national calling. In addition, they are outfitted with intelligent energy control systems that adjust lighting and temperature levels according to activity in the room.
Since the hotel isn't taking reservations yet, we don't know how much the rooms cost, but with technology like this, don't expect anything affordable—even in this recession.
