The Amalfi Hotel is on its way to be rebranded The Kinzie under new ownership and a through a thorough renovation. Named for "first citizen" John Kinzie, who built a mansion and a hotel by the same name nearby, The Kinzie will feature 215 upgraded rooms, a redone lobby, and decor with built-in information on early Chicago. With Kinzie's reputation for duplicitous and even treasonous behavior, the renamed Double Cross Lounge is most apt. Look for a February opening. [Hotel Chatter]
