Message From Custom Hotel

WE ARE CURRENTLY CLOSED FOR REMODELING.

  • Weekend Brunch
  • Private Parties and Events

A full-service bistro, Bistrotek is now serving breakfast, lunch and dinner daily as well as weekend brunch. The restaurant's contemporary, industrial design aesthetic is reminiscent of the revitalized lofts found in New York's SoHo or Chicago's River North. Bistrotek features an open and airy loft-style space with sky lights and exposed pipes, polished concrete floors, distressed brick walls and a vine-enclosed outdoor patio. Bistrotek's semi-private dining room is perfect for corporate lunches, family gatherings or small informal meetings and receptions. Bistrotek's exceptional value and welcoming, casual yet chic vibe invites neighbors, visitors and hotel guests to make themselves at home and stay a while. The main dining room, semi-private dining room and outdoor patio are also available for private special events. Please see Events and Meetings for more information.
