CHICAGO (April 18, 2016) – The refined Silversmith Hotel, a rare gem encased in classical architecture and sparkling with a new choice of luxury in Chicago, proudly welcomes Nathan Midkiff as director of sales. With a decade of experience in the Chicago hospitality market, Midkiff will spearhead strategic marketing tactics and sales initiatives to drive revenues for the recently renovated hotel and its signature restaurant and lounge, Adamus.

“Nathan has spent his entire career working within Chicago’s hospitality industry, and we’re confident his experience and intimate knowledge of the market and of hotel sales will support our ability to continue to thrive in this city’s strong and competitive tourism marketplace,” said Frank Leone, general manager of Silversmith Hotel.

Midkiff has held a leadership position with Chicago’s hotel industry since 2007, starting in food and beverage as the catering manager at Hampton Inn & Suites-Chicago Downtown, then escalating to sales manager at several distinguished city properties, including theWit – a DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel and The Talbott Hotel, before joining Silversmith Hotel as the newest member of the executive team.

A nod to the ancient Latin term for diamond, the new lounge and restaurant – Adamus, presents handcrafted cocktails, tempting bites and social interaction around the communal table. The contemporary circular bar, effervescent with illuminating design elements presents the perfect focal point in the lounge.
