What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
This Jewelers Row gem, which dates back to 1897, deftly manages to fuse old and new without any design foibles:
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set directly along Jewelers Row beneath the Wabash elevated tracks, the hotel sits one block from Millennium Park and the Art Institute.
The rooms
Twelve-foot ceilings and unique loft layouts give each room an airy scale, finished with tufted metallic headboards and walk-in showers.
The gym
The 24-hour fitness room has cardio machines, free weights, and Peloton bikes for daily workouts.
Adamus Restaurant & Lounge
The circular lobby lounge serves contemporary American fare and pours a custom Maker's Mark bourbon blended for the house.
How it began
Architect Peter J. Weber completed the building in 1897 to house master craftsmen and gem engravers in Chicago's jewelry trade.
