Elysian is a 60 story skyscraper in the Gold Coast region in Chicago, Illinois currently under construction. It was designed by Lucien Lagrange Architects.[1]

The building will have a classic facade with a grand entry and European style courtyard. Other structural features include colonnades and spires, drawing from classical design. The design of the building was inspired by classic 30's style European buildings. [1]

The building will incorporate 188 ultra-luxury hotel suites with 51 private condominiums available for private ownership. Two restaurants will be located in the hotel, one of which will be a 5-star restaurant operated by the internationally renowned chef Charlie Trotter, who already operates another restaurant in nearby Lincoln Park.
