Opened August 6th, 1962.

This restaurant was operated by Steve Crane Associates, which also operated the Kon-Tiki chain, and the Luau in Beverly Hills. It was in the Sheraton-Chicago; this building had begun as the Medinah Athletic Club, which was exclusively for Shriners. Today this hotel is an InterContinental.

There was a Kon-Tiki Ports in Boston as well. These locations featured themed rooms modeled after Singapore, Papeete, Saigon, and Macau.
