PB hotel design editorial

What you see from the corner of State and Rush is a deliberate act of architectural conversation: a faceted cobalt glass tower, its pleated curtain wall catching the Lake Michigan sky, rising from a meticulously preserved 1920s terra-cotta and red brick base that once housed the Avenue Motel. Hartshorne Plunkard Architecture designed the new-build addition to sit above rather than erase the historic structure, and the contrast — creamy Beaux-Arts ornament giving way to folded blue glass — is precisely the point. Viceroy Chicago opened in 2017 with 180 rooms across 18 floors, and the Gold Coast address situates it within one of the city's most architecturally layered neighborhoods, the John Hancock Center and 875 North Michigan visible from the rooftop pool deck. Interior designer Roman and Williams brought a sensibility drawn from mid-century American glamour rather than corporate luxury — walnut case goods with brass hardware, geometric gold-and-black tile headboard walls that carry faint echoes of Frank Lloyd Wright's textile-block ornament, low-slung lounge chairs upholstered in patterned wool. The rooftop bar's burnished copper ceiling reflects back a warm amber light against the floor-to-ceiling glass, Foscarini-adjacent globe pendants lining the bartop beside a long black marble counter. Guest rooms frame views east toward the lake through the tower's angled glass panels, the geometry of the curtain wall giving each room its own oblique perspective on the Chicago skyline.

"I recently hosted a corporate team meeting at Viceroy Chicago and had an outstanding experience. The hotel is beautiful, but the hospitality truly sets it apart. A special thank you to Randy and the banquet team—Mario, Monica, Kendall, Evie, Jacob, and Isaac. They anticipated our needs, handled every detail seamlessly, and made our entire team feel genuinely welcomed and cared for. Having hosted meetings at hotels across the country, I can confidently say this team stands out. Exceptional service, beautiful property, and a true 5-star experience. I would absolutely return and recommend Viceroy Chicago for both business and leisure."

"Listen, if there's any doubt about booking the Viceroy when looking for a 5 star option, do not hesitate! We've stayed at all the rest in Chicago and Viceroy has them beat by far in terms of service, location, food/bed, views, etc. Only downside would be no spa, but there are a million close by so don't worry about that. The restaurant is incredible, rooftop bar one of the best views/vibes in the city. Lobby and Front Desk staff are second to none, making you feel special but in a really organic way. No weird boujee vibes here, just class and warmth. Thanks Viceroy for making my birthday one to remember!!"

"I had a wonderful stay at Viceroy Chicago and was especially impressed with the service from an advisor perspective. Prior to arrival, the team reviewed all of my included rate perks and confirmed that an upgrade had been provided, which made the arrival experience feel very seamless. We arrived before our room was ready, and the hotel happily held our luggage while we did some shopping along Michigan Avenue. Everyone we interacted with was incredibly welcoming and very child-friendly, which is worth noting for families considering the property. The hotel has a true boutique feel, especially impressive given its location in an area with so many larger luxury hotels. You're also only about a 10-minute walk from Oak Street Beach, which is fantastic for skyline views, people-watching, and enjoying Lake Michigan. Breakfast at Somerset was excellent, with generous portions and a great atmosphere. We also returned for cocktails and really enjoyed them. The rooftop pool deck was another highlight, with a daytime bar, relaxing loungers, and comfortable couches where you can settle in and enjoy the city views without necessarily being at the pool."
