 The 1961 North Tower would reopen first as the 547-room Forum Hotel (the budget-priced division of Inter-Continental), while the historic 1929 South Tower would be restored as the 346-room Inter-Continental Chicago.A former Medinah Club member read of the renovation and donated the first anniversary edition of the club's magazine, "The Scimitar".The magazine contained photographs of the club, which were used to aid in the building's restoration.
