CHICAGO, Feb. 18 (UPI) -- Items from Chicago's Ambassador East Hotel and the Pump Room restaurant, including the booth frequented by Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack, are now on sale.
Michael Kabealo, president of Hotel Content Liquidators, said the 12-day liquidation sale, which began Friday, includes Sinatra's private booth for $4,500 as well as the bar for $10,500 and a $1,700 oriental rug, the Chicago Tribune reported Friday.
The sale includes leather bar stools ranging from $225 to $250 and $1 tissue box covers.
"There's something here for everybody," Kabealo told the newspaper.
The Ambassador East first opened its doors in 1926 and the Pump Room was opened inside the hotel in 1938. Officials said the businesses closed indefinitely in January.
The Pump Room was known as a popular destination for celebrities traveling between Hollywood and New York, with famous patrons including Humphrey Bogart, Marilyn Monroe, Paul Newman and Judy Garland.
