Kem Weber: Palace Theater (Chicago, Ill.)
Description
The 2500 seat Palace Theater was part of the Bismark Hotel complex on West Randolph Street in downtown Chicago. Weber worked with the owners to refresh the building into a more modern design. Weber re-imagined not only the theater, but the hotel room furniture, coffee shop, multiple on-site restaurants, and exterior facade of the building.
