CHICAGO-Gemstone Resorts International, LLC, based in Park City, UT, has been handed the management key to the House of Blues Hotel. Located at 329 N. Dearborn along the Chicago River and within the Marina City compound, the 367-room hotel will undergo a “multi-million-dollar renovation” throughout the next year.

Mark van Hartesvelt, principal with Gemstone, tells GlobeSt.com that under the company’s supervision, the hotel will be “upgraded and the style will feel more like the House of Blues.” Renovations will include enhancements to guest rooms, meeting space, Kazbar Lounge, public areas, the arrival “experience” and a new spa.

The Gemstone executive also says the company will boost the hotel’s appeal by strengthening the relationship with fellow Marine City tenants, including the House of Blues Club and Foundation Room, Smith and Wollensky’s, Bin 36, 10-Pin Bowling, Crunch Fitness Center and Harry Carry’s Restaurant.
