PB hotel design editorial

At 122 West Monroe Street in the Chicago Loop, the 1894 Chicago Athletic Association building — a Richardsonian Romanesque structure with a limestone facade that survived more than a century of the city's relentless self-reinvention — was converted into the Kimpton Gray Hotel when it opened in 2016. The project, undertaken with interiors by Simeone Deary Design Group, posed a specific challenge: how to honor a building whose original purpose was institutional gravitas while making 293 rooms feel genuinely habitable. The answer is visible in the lobby's library lounge, where floor-to-ceiling ebonized bookcases lined with law volumes and tan Chesterfield sofas set against deep lacquered millwork give the ground floor the atmosphere of a private club rather than a hotel arrival sequence. Upstairs, the rooms take a different register entirely — grey grasscloth-textured wallcoverings, cobalt patterned carpets in a bold floral weave, and sky-blue curtains pooling at generous sash windows that frame the Loop's canyon of stone facades. Globe pendants suspended on black cords above the headboards and mint-green lacquered desks introduce a mid-century warmth that keeps the palette from reading cold. The rooftop Boleo bar, visible in the images, pivots to Latin American atmosphere — dark timber bar backed with open spirit shelving, oversized tropical palm fronds framing the space — a studied contrast to the Edwardian formality downstairs that gives the Gray something close to genuine range.

About

Think of Kimpton Gray Hotel like a perfectly bespoke suit from London's Savile Row - beautiful, bold, and with no detail out of place. Clad in marble The Gray has been a tastemaker for more than a century, first as an office building and now as an elevated-experience hotel. When the 9-to-5 day is done in the Financial District, those in the know flock to the on-site lounges and restaurants - Vol. 39, a law library-themed bar, Boleo, an Argentinean-inspired lounge with retractable glass roof, and Fillmore, a chef-driven new American restaurant. Consider us for business travel or a weekend getaway. Blocks away from Millennium Park, restaurants and museums.

"Multiple attempts to contact management failed. That should tell you everything. Room beautiful, nice welcome, but.. 1. Desk table (top) missing feet. When I was using computer, it shifted, went bang, and I thought glass would shatter 2. Coffee maker clogged - three tries to make “large” and then .. it wouldn’t STOP brewing .. then spit out boiling hot water. 3. Shower HOT HOT then FREEZING - delay of 5-10 seconds for temp change 4. HVAC didn’t work. I had to set heat to 80 to get anything to come on 5. One roll of toilet paper 6. Bathtub … but no soap? 7. Chase IHG mastercard rejected - this indicates high fraud from property, according to Chase."

"Kimpton Gray Hotel is conveniently located in the heart of downtown Chicago’s historic and financial district, within walking distance of the Union Station, Millennium Park, museums, etc. The room was cosy and clean. Excellent room service, dining options, and amenities. The overall atmosphere was friendly and pleasant."

"Walking into the hotel close to midnight, I was warmly greeted by both the valet and the front desk staff, which immediately set the tone for a great stay. After a long travel day, that kind of welcome makes a big difference. The atmosphere of the Kimpton Gray is inviting, and the hotel itself is immaculate and beautifully maintained. My room was very comfortable, and the temperature was set perfectly, making it easy to relax and get a good night’s rest. At checkout, the front desk staff member, V, was extremely accommodating and kindly allowed me to store my bag with the valet until it was time to head to the airport later that day. That level of service really stood out. I would highly recommend the Kimpton Gray to anyone visiting Chicago and looking for a comfortable, stylish, and welcoming place to stay. The restaurants in the hotel are also fantastic, with excellent food and attentive staff that truly enhance the experience."
