Walsh Construction completes interior renovations at Royal Sonesta Chicago hotel

CHICAGO, IL – Walsh Construction has completed the large-scale interior renovations at the Royal Sonesta, a 39-story luxury hotel located in the heart of Chicago. Situated on Wacker Drive between the famous State Street and Michigan Avenue, the Royal Sonesta’s guest rooms and public spaces were refreshed throughout the property as part of a rebranding effort for the Sonesta Hotel brand.

The Royal Sonesta interiors project required the renovation of 332 guest rooms across 28 stories. Improvements included new carpeting, wall coverings, lighting and furnishings. Bathrooms were modernized and the out-of-date guestroom entry doors were revamped. Public spaces totaling 29,000 square feet throughout the hotel, including public bathrooms and the hotel lobby, received fresh, new millwork and finishing along with other additions.





“Walsh Construction, Sarfatty Associates, The Getty’s Group and our subcontractor partners rose to the challenge on this renovation. Whenever issues arose, we delivered solutions and strategies to keep the project moving forward,” said Project Manager Jim Begy. “Now complete, we look forward to guests enjoying all of the revived spaces.”

Renovations began in March 2021 and concluded six months later, the hotel remained open throughout the renovation process.
