Chicago, U.S.A.

Set the tone for spring with Four Seasons Hotel Chicago with pitch-perfect experiences and activations curated to re-energize families, couples and explorers. Nestled above the iconic Magnificent Mile shopping district, the newly redesigned Hotel celebrates a true spring awakening as only the city of Chicago can and ushers in the transitional months of spring that begin the unique re-emergence of the urban hub’s bustling energy.

“The springtime in Chicago marks a resurgence like no other and this year we’re bringing a fresh new soundtrack to the transformational time in the city,” says Stephen Wancha, General Manager at Four Seasons Hotel Chicago. “We’re proud to partner with Jazz Institute of Chicago and BELLOSOUND to continue Chicago’s love letter to live musical performances and bring the city’s essence to our guests.”

New Music Monday and Sunday Vinyl Brunch

Starting the season on a high note, Adorn Restaurant launches Spotlight, a night for emerging musicians every Monday beginning in April 2023. In partnership with the Jazz Institute of Chicago and BELLOSOUND, Live in the Lounge expands performances to Monday evenings. This fellowship program provides music industry exposure to emerging musicians benefiting them with a platform to perform.

To celebrate the restaurant’s new brunch menu, Adorn presents “BYOV” Brunch, a monthly brunch party where guests are encouraged to bring their vinyl records to contribute to a live musical tapestry curated by resident vinyl virtuoso DJ Diasfunk. Diasfunk began collecting vinyl singles when he was ten years old, which is still his preferred format, regularly spinning 45s from his vast collection. Join Diasfunk on April 23, 2023 between 10:30 am and 2:00 pm for the first live BYOV brunch and try Adorn’s new Truffle French Toast, Giardiniera Hashbrown Waffle and Eggs, and Crab Avocado Toast.

Adorn’s music residency is live every Monday and Saturday evening and Sunday brunch.
