Developed for busy meeting attendees and business travelers, two new dining venues have opened at the Sheraton Chicago Hotel & Towers in downtown Chicago. As an alternative to fast food, LB Bistro & Patisserie offers gourmet breakfast and lunch menus in a quick-service setting. The restaurant is the first from two-time world champion pastry chef Laurent Branlard. Also new is Link@Sheraton, an Internet cafe offering fresh baked goods, coffee and "grab and go" items. Link@Sheraton offers Wi-Fi Internet access, newspapers and three 42-inch plasma TVs, along with the new Microsoft Surface--a 30-inch touch-screen display in a table-like form, enabling multiple guests to use it simultaneously to surf the Web, purchase event tickets and retrieve photos and music. The hotel offers 120,000 square feet of meeting space including a 40,000-square-foot ballroom, 34 breakout rooms and a 35,000-square-foot exhibit hall. Click for more information.
