Whether this means full-scale renovations or just the introduction of some Thompson touches, remains to be seen. A hotel name change will probably happen but it won't be anything drastic. Think Hotel Sax, A Thompson Hotel. And we know how much Thompson loves their rooftop bars so that could also be in the works for the hotel as well.
However, one thing that's definitely staying is the Studio Lounge where guests can play RockBand, Guitar Hero and Wii games.
As far as price point, the room rates will probably go up a touch. We got the room for $99 on Priceline when it was originally around $170 a night. When the place gets Thompsonized we predict it will cross over the $200 mark for sure.
We enjoyed our stay at the hotel and it's great location on the Chicago River is hard to beat. But we did think that a few tweaks were needed to re-invigorate the place. Having Thompson bring its boutique hotel cool style and service could be just what it needs.
