What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
The rooms and suites are quite obviously Japanese-influenced, equal parts Zen and ultra-modern post-industrial — check out the cedar tubs in the suites — and they’re as luxurious as they are stylish.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Set directly on Restaurant Row at Randolph and Peoria Streets, you are surrounded by the West Loop's acclaimed dining scene.
The rooms
Low-profile platform beds sit against mango wood millwork, with deep teak soaking tubs framing city views in the suites.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Daybeds line the indoor Tranquility Pool, illuminated beneath a rustic timber ceiling and pink resin sculpture.

Tiled steam rooms sit beside private treatment rooms and a 24-hour gym equipped for cardio and strength training.
Dogs stay too.
Nobu Restaurant Chicago
Thousands of handmade gold leaves hang above the dining room, where chefs slice sashimi and prepare black cod with miso.
The hotel’s 115 loft-like guest rooms and suites are accessed via corridors lined with glowing wooden lanterns that make everyone look sexy
At the table
Up on the eleventh floor, the rooftop lounge pours Japanese Old Fashioneds and sake against expansive skyline views.
How it began
Built from the ground up in 2020, the brick-and-steel tower translates Japanese craft into Fulton Market's industrial warehouse setting.
