As an architectural photographer with an appreciation for architecture, history and impeccably designed décor & interiors, we appreciate the completed restoration & history behind Michigan Avenue’s the Blackstone Chicago Autograph Collection Restored Hotel.  From the Blackstone Chicago Autograph Collection hotel exterior’s historic renovated building elevation photos, to photography inside the Blackstone hotel, every inch of the renovated modern and eclectic historic hotel, for a traveling Chicago hotel photographer like us, is a dream to photograph. Step inside the Blackstone Chicago Autograph Collection hotel, or inside any of the handpicked worldwide  Marriott International Autograph Collection’s hotels, and be amazed by the design, local lifestyle and extraordinary experience. As preferred hotel photographers in Chicago, for The Blackstone Chicago and Autograph Collection Hotel Corporation, we have toured and captured exterior and room photography inside nearly every space in the interior of the hotel, from the suites, rooms, and glamourous event spaces inside the boutique, regal Chicago Blackstone hotel.

It is easy to fall in love with each of the hundreds of Autograph Collection hotels. Just like inside Chicago’s restored Blackstone Chicago hotel, each Autograph hotel property has a way of staying connected to their geographical surroundings, local cultural & historical roots. This gives guests a bit more of an authentic stay and experience. Inside the Blackstone Hotel Chicago, appreciate the hotel’s refined details of the human touch, evidence of interior hotel designers & visionaries obsessing over every detail, and heartfelt design & emotion providing for an overall in tune sense of place and comfortable stay in Chicago’s South Loop.

Oh, and we stopped in for a Catalan-inspired cocktail and a bite to eat, eating tapas at the Chicago local’s favorite restaurant Mercat a la Planxa on Michigan Avenue, on the street level of the hotel.  Highly recommended a visit and taste.

An iconic looking building standing within Chicago’s skyline, the Blackstone Chicago Autograph Collection Hotel, Michigan Avenue high-rise building with brick and limestone facade elevation, stands tall presenting its story of history, glamour, and hospitality for over a century. The Chicago Blackstone Hotel opening day was April 6, 1910.  Since the hotel’s opening day, the Blackstone has attracted celebrities, socialites, politicians, travelers to Chicago, business travelers, couples, newlyweds getting married, and more over the past century. The hotel named “The Hotel of Presidents” fits as the historic Chicago hotel proudly has hosted several foreign dignitaries and heads of state, from Teddy Roosevelt to Jimmy Carter. Also hosting various icons from as the Astors, Rockefellers, and Vanderbilts, to Lena Horne, Marilyn Monroe, Nat King Cole, Rudolph Valentino, and even visits by the legendary mob bosses “Lucky” Luciano and Al Capone. In 1998, Chicago declared the Blackstone as a historic landmark. However at that time, it was in need of redevelopment and standing in construction despair. Renovation of the historic hotel began in 2006, with the rehab construction completed and a reopening celebration in 2008 celebrating the restored building. The Blackstone most recently had a $139-million hotel architectural restoration in 2008 with the renovation was led by Chicago-based Gettys Group. Restoration of the Blackstone included a refresh to the original work of Chicago architectural firm Marshall and Fox to highlight its early twentieth-century grandeur while incorporating technology and modern amenities.

Upon Nitti Development booking Miller + Miller Photography for the custom home photo shoot, we asked the builder a few photo questions about the model home and the interior and exterior house shoot. The design team provided information about the home and a few details about the room’s high-end finishes and design elements.

When we arrived for the Chicago residential home photography shoot, we began first with a quick tour of the model house, to get organized for photos, and review the luxury home before the home’s photography shoot started. The Joanne model was impressive.  Equally as impressive was the exterior of the home’s curb appeal and on each and every one of the homes within the entire Berteau Development neighborhood!  Each home has a design fitting for every home buyer’s dream home unique tastes.  Each home is loaded with character.  It wasn’t tough for us to see why this new development in Elmhurst has developed popularity.  Hidden in a nook of homes, south of North Avenue and East of downtown Elmhurst, this cluster of quintessential homes are memorable. Driveway and see each home’s distinctive and luxury style where driving by house-to-house, you may find each one is more interesting than the previous.  Home architectural styles vary from Nantucket, coastal, French chateau, traditional, and to modern.

Inside the 129 Joanne Way Elmhurst model, the spa-like white master bathroom was a personal favorite room, as well as the open kitchen with painted gray cabinets and white quartz countertops.  The Berteau Development features 56 pristine homes in a multitude of different home styles. With Nitti’s design team creating unique attributes for each home, no two homes ever feel the same.
