hotel. It makes it different from other sturctures. We did not like it when it was named the Purple Hotel, it somehow has a cheap ring to it. The last owner really brought it down. We hope it will become a beautiful soft colored purple hotel again with
a better sounding name. We have lived in
Lincolnwood for over 35 years. We wish that
it had remained the Hyatt Hotel.
