New Upscale Casual Restaurant Opens after $1.3M Renovation

CHICAGO, IL, Oct. 29, 2008—The Dow Hotel Company (DHC), a hotel owner/investor and hotel management company, announced that it has opened the 200-seat, full service BC Bistro & Lounge, at The Doubletree Hotel Chicago O’Hare Rosemont, (top right photo) following a complete, $1.3 million overhaul of the property’s restaurant.

“Besides the foundation, everything in the BC Bistro & Lounge is new and reflects the latest culinary trends with a heavy emphasis on fresh, local and regional products,” said Murray L. Dow II, (top left photo) president, The Dow Hotel Company.


“We removed the old stair case; refurbished the space with upscale casual décor; and partnered with local growers and a boutique bakery to create an attractively priced menu with an international flair.”

Located at 5460 North River Road, with an interior entrance through The Doubletree Hotel Chicago O’Hare-Rosemont, the BC Bistro & Lounge will feature signature dishes such as the onion soup baked in an onion cup, pretzel roll Ruben and Sizzle Platter--shrimp, scallops, sausage and rice.



In addition, the restaurant will offer low calorie dishes, such as salmon salad, turkey wrap and cedar pine white fish. Average costs for meals are: breakfast $8 to $14, lunch $9 to $16 and dinner $14 to $19.

The BC Bistro & Lounge is open from 6:30 am to 1:00 am, seven days a week and offers convenient, covered parking at the hotel. The Lounge also focuses on local offerings, serving a wide variety of local beers, as well as regional and international wines.


The signature "BC Martini” features 2 ounces of Crowne Royal Whiskey, 2 ounces of Apple Pucker, 2 ounces of cranberry juice, shaken to perfection and garnished with an apple slice.

“Many restaurants in Rosemont are big Chicago names, like Nicks Fish Market and Morton’s, which target an older, male crowd,” said David Fincannon, (bottom right photo) general manager at The Doubletree Hotel Chicago O’Hare Rosemont.

“We cater to both local and visiting men and women who want to easily find a seat in an inviting lounge with a fun atmosphere and be able to talk, not shout, with the person next to him or her."
