What’s your favorite hobby when getting older? Fine dining! For Robert De Niro, 72, it is clear not to spend all the time on the golf course. The Hollywood star invests in a new luxury hotel with a michelin-star gastronomy in Chicago. The Nobu with 103 rooms and suites and a 10,000 square-foot fine dining restaurant will open end of 2017.
For groundbreaking, De Niro and japanese chef Nobu Matsuhisa met now in the ‘windy city’ and started hiring for the staff. The hotel is located the West Loop of Chicago.
Also planned are an indoor and outdoor bar opening on to Randolph’sfamed Restaurant Row; an exquisite 3,000 square foot, multi-use suite available for private social functions and meeting space; an indoor pool; a state-of-the-art fitness center; spa treatment rooms; and a unique rooftop indoor and outdoor bar and lounge.
Nobu chain includes 35 restaurants in 10 countries. The first Nobu Hotel opened in 2013 as a boutique hotel within Caesars Palace Las Vegas.
