The Library Lounge
AT THE AMBASSADOR
The Library Lounge offers a more intimate counterpoint to the grandeur of the Ambassador Room. Anchored by a glowing fireplace and wrapped in rich textures and literary charm, the lounge evokes the quiet sophistication of a classic hotel library. It’s a place to linger—where conversation flows as easily as the cocktails, and the storied elegance of the Gold Coast feels personal, inviting, and timeless.
​
On the menu, you’ll find crave-worthy shareables, bold mains, and indulgent desserts — from charcuterie for two and braised short rib tacos to linguini shrimp scampi and molten lava cake. It’s Chicago dining reimagined in one of the city’s most historic settings.
