WELCOME
Loews Chicago O’Hare Hotel
Loews Chicago Hotel
Loews Regency San Francisco Hotel
Welcome to Loews Hotels & Resorts, and the latest issue of Loews Magazine. For the past year, we’ve been
working behind the scenes on some exciting developments and can’t wait to share them with you.
Continuing a trend of growth that started in 2014, Loews Hotels & Resorts is proud to introduce Loews Regency
San Francisco Hotel, set in the heart of one of America’s most dynamic cities. To celebrate its opening, we put together
a weekend itinerary of activities, from trending hot spots to timeless classics (“A Weekend in San Francisco,” page
26). Additionally, Loews Chicago Hotel opened its doors this winter, joining Loews Chicago O’Hare Hotel in the
Windy City. We shined a spotlight on all the summer festivals that the destination has become known for in “Taking it
Outside” (page 34).
We’re not stopping there, however. Even more developments are in the works, including Loews Sapphire Falls at Universal
Orlando Resort, which will make its debut in 2016. Our leadership, too, has seen some changes—Loews is thrilled to
announce Kirk Kinsell as the company’s new president & CEO. Kinsell brings with him more than 35 years of experience in
the hospitality industry and a wealth of expertise that has already proven valuable in Loews Hotels & Resorts’ evolution.
That evolution could not be more evident than it is in our newest venture, the OE Collection, which brings a unique
assemblage of boutique lifestyle hotels in major markets across North America. While each property retains its own name,
look and feel, the OE Collection aims to infuse into each hotel the personalized service and quality amenities that are the
foundation of the Loews brand.
In the same vein, this issue of Loews Magazine aims to showcase our ongoing progress alongside signature experiences
that continue to delight Loews guests. Among these, of course, are culinary delicacies. Our article on famous regional dishes
samples authentic flavors from some of the country’s top destinations (“A Taste of the City,” page 30). We hope you’ll also enjoy
taking a tour of Joey McIntyre’s hometown (“Back on the Block in Boston,” page 46), a Northeastern road trip (“Hit the Open
Road,” page 62), and a blast from the past courtesy of the new wave of game rooms (“Arcades Remade,” page 54). And don’t
let this summer slip away without a visit to the West Coast, where Santa Monica charms those seeking a little California cool
(“Everything Under the Sun,” page 50).
We hope you enjoy the magazine and your stay, and we welcome your feedback as to how we can make you as comfortable
as possible. As we enter this new era, we’re energized by the work that’s going into improving and perfecting our offerings,
and excited at the thought of what’s to come. But most of all, we’re glad that you’re along for the ride.
Sincerely,
Jonathan M. Tisch
Chairman, Loews Hotels & Resorts
