Essence called Kimpton Hotel Fontenot a New Orleans stay “for art aficionados.” Peacock Room is exhibit A.

Mosaic floors, stuffed peacocks, a 19th-century bar and a cocktail experience that starts by drawing a card and letting fate take it from there. Here, art doesn’t stay framed. It becomes the drink, the experience and a world that literally comes to life.

We helped give the story another card to play.

Opened in 2002, Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile’s unmistakable glass building was designed by French architect Jean-Paul Viguier as a triangular prism, with a dramatic “prow” extending over the street.

But the hotel is more than a pretty façade. It’s a mountain of fresh towels, room service in a robe and the team that always seems to knock at just the right time.We captured the experience from sidewalk to suite, with a wink along the way.

A decade of Smyth can be measured in a lot of ways. Stars earned. Dishes created and recreated. Ingredients discovered. Farmers who became collaborators, colleagues who became friends and thousands of guests welcomed into the open kitchen to celebrate moments big and small.

But listening to Chef John Shields reflect on the anniversary, what stands out most is that Smyth has never really been about arriving somewhere. It’s about staying curious enough to keep going. To keep creating. Keep learning. Keep evolving.

Ten years in. Still becoming.

At 6 PM every day, The Ritz-Carlton, Cleveland’s TURN Bar + Kitchen sounds its steam whistle to officially send off the workday, a nod to the city’s manufacturing and steel heritage.

Then the cocktails come out, the ingredients get a little carried away (in all the best ways) and dinner unfolds from there.

We captured where the evening takes you.

For Indienne Restaurant Chicago and Indienne NYC’s Melon Sol Kadi, ripe summer melon, coconut milk and tart kokum sorbet come together through Chef Sujan Sarkar’s own point of view, rooted in his native Kolkata, sharpened in Michelin-starred kitchens in London and now expressed through Indian flavors and French technique.

We got a closer look at what goes into it, one layer at a time.

What sprouts around Kindling Chicago’s live-fire hearth inside Willis Tower grows well beyond it, with James Beard Award-winning Chef Jonathon Sawyer bringing the same attention to seasonal vegetables as steaks and seafood.

Most recently, we helped that expertise branch out through PARADE Magazine, where Chef shared his at-home grilling advice.

Chef John Manion’s take on Argentine asado is centered around a custom 12-foot live-fire hearth, where nearly 90% of El Che Steakhouse & Bar’s menu is cooked over wood and charcoal. Pair that with what’s believed to be the only all-South American wine list in the U.S. and it’s easy to see why people come back.

It’s just as much a place to celebrate as it is to grab dinner. We helped bring that story to more tables.

Named after an Argentinian tango move, Boleo at The Kimpton Gray Hotel brings together Pan-Latin flavors, handcrafted cocktails and an atmosphere that makes you forget you’re in the middle of downtown Chicago. It’s no surprise that Condé Nast Traveler recently named it one of “Chicago’s 40 Best Bars.”

We’re proud to help tell the story.

There's something about OLIO E PIÙ Chicago in Chicago’s River North that makes you want to stay a little longer. Maybe it's the house-made pastas. Maybe it's the century-old European wine bar, the antique chandeliers or the warmth of the trattoria itself. Inspired by La Dolce Vita, every detail works together to make the experience feel unmistakably Italian.

The meal eventually ends. The feeling doesn't. We helped preserve it.

Kitty's Cosmopolitan Club, led by Partner Kevin Beary and Bar Manager Tyler MacLellan, was built around precision and ritual, from a -16°F freezer bar for impossibly cold martinis to trolley-side pours and the “Dirty Martini and a Half” resting on crushed ice beside blue cheese deviled olives.

Lately, the influence has been spilling well beyond the room itself, including a recent spotlight from Chicago magazine.
