Le Colonial Chicago

Designed by Greg Jordan, of Greg Jordan. Le Colonial transports guests to another milieu from a bygone era, to the enchanting tropical Southeast Asia from the 1920s. To re-create the mood and expertise of this magnificent time and place in all its splendor, Mr. Jordan says, I chose to design with unique tiled floors, crudely painted walls and antique mercury panels to keep the interior as simple, yet as elegant as possible. The ecru walls of the 1st-floor Dining Room are lined with handsome, louvered shutters.
