This is where Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall honeymooned. A scene from Hitchcock's "North by Northwest" was filmed in the hotel. It was also the location for "My Bodyguard," filmed in 1983. Celebrities such as Frank Sinatra, Helen Hayes, Lana Turner, and Doris Day have visited so frequently that their favorite suites have been named for them. They are among the scores of visiting luminaries and political figures who have made the Omni Ambassador East the place to see and be seen in Chicago over the last 65 years.
The lobby, clad in Italian verde marble and decorated with oriental screens, reflects the hotel's careful balance of contemporary and traditional qualities.
Guest rooms, decorated in soft peach, gray, and pink tones, feature intricate woodwork, high ceilings, marble bathrooms, pedestal sinks, and large closets. Deluxe suites have wet bars, kitchens and dining rooms.
The Pump Room, a renowned dining establishment since the 1930s, adorns its walls with photographs of celebrities who have occupied the restaurant's famous "Booth One." Dinner there might be an appetizer of escargot with artichokes provencal and garlic butter chives, followed by a crisp Caesar salad, an entrée of grilled medallions of veal with spinach Tagliarini and truffle sauce, and a dessert of strawberries Imbrovnev.
The Omni Ambassador East's nine private meeting and dining rooms make it an ideal setting for board meetings and high-level conferences. Business executives appreciate its downtown location, daily complimentary limousine service to the financial district, and numerous business services.
The hotel also offers competitive weekend rates and packages.
