Built in 1923 to designs by Holabird & Roche — the firm responsible for much of Chicago's early commercial skyline — the London Guarantee Building at 360 North Michigan Avenue is one of the city's great Beaux-Arts limestone towers, its crown a colonnaded rotunda visible from both the river and the Magnificent Mile. When LondonHouse Chicago was carved from its upper floors and an adjacent annex in 2016, the challenge was persuading a century-old civic monument to work as a contemporary hotel without flattening what makes the building extraordinary. The 452-room property rises 22 floors, its position at the confluence of the Chicago River and Michigan Avenue giving it one of the most architecturally saturated views in American hospitality. Interior designer Simeone Deary Studio handled the rooms and public spaces with a palette drawn from the building's own material language — walnut-paneled headboards, geometric carpet patterns in charcoal and silver, dark-framed wall sconces with ribbed brass detailing — photograph groupings above the beds referencing the city's architectural photography tradition. The lobby bar, visible in the images, sets velvet club sofas and octagonal marble-topped tables against floor-to-ceiling glass that frames Bertrand Goldberg's Marina City corncob towers directly across the river. The rooftop terrace, positioned where the building's setback creates a natural outdoor platform, surveys the Loop's full skyline panorama with the river bend below — a vantage point that makes the building's original 1923 civic ambition feel entirely contemporary.
