In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Indie boutiques and vintage shops line the six-corner junction outside, with the elevated 606 trail just a short walk away.
The rooms
Tower rooms feature chicken-wire glass partitions and hardwood floors, while annex lofts offer ten-foot ceilings and industrial bunk layouts.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The triangular dipping pool sits on the sixth-floor terrace, looking out over the neighborhood canopy toward downtown.
Restaurant
Café Robey
Crimson banquettes line the ground-floor dining room, where guests gather for artisan coffee, daily brunch, and American classics.
To combine the original 1929 office tower and the adjacent historic Hollander Fireproof Warehouse, Mexico-based Grupo Habita turned to Belgian design duo Nicolas Schuybroek Architects and Marc Merkx Interiors.
Bar
Clever Coyote
Neon ceiling lights glow over the second-floor bar, which serves cocktails alongside billiards and retro arcade games.
At the table
On the thirteenth floor, The Up Room serves cocktails against panoramic views of the downtown Chicago skyline.
How it began
The hotel bridges a 1929 Art Deco office skyscraper with an adjacent 1905 fireproof warehouse at the neighborhood's bustling six-corner crossing.
