NoMI Kitchen
Impeccable service from sincere and approachable staff. A commitment to the culture of great food. Flavours inspired by the seasons. Regionally-sourced ingredients. That’s what you’ll find when you dine at Park Hyatt Chicago’s NoMI Kitchen. Long considered one of downtown Chicago’s best restaurants, NoMI has undergone a full renovation to be reborn as a casually elegant dining destination for locals and hotel guests alike. NoMI Kitchen is based on the idea that the center of the home is the kitchen, where family and friends gather; an everyday occasion place. The unique design presents the kitchen as the focal point, showcasing the culinary team led by Executive Chef Ryan LaRoche.
The dining room at Park Hyatt Chicago offers a comfortable, warm and inviting atmosphere. Contemporary tones with dark browns, creams and pop of colors infuse the space with warmth and complement the restored details of the original mosaic tile floors. The renowned Dale Chihuly hand-blown glass sculptures are repositioned in the private dining rooms. The artistic “Winter Branches” adorn the space located above the dining room’s coveted window tables and specially commissioned photographs by Robert Bengston enhance the interior and overall experience.
