What You Need to Know
The Look of Sable at Navy Pier
The hotel is housed in an expansive, seven-story building accessible from either side of the Pier. While the exteriors are unassuming — a classic glass and steel low-rise — the interiors tell a different story, with sleek, modern décor and thoughtful nautical touches that nod to the hotel's lakeside setting. Upon accessing the lobby, you'll find a check-in desk and an adjacent seating area featuring contemporary furnishings and neutral hues. Rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city and pops of blue reminiscent of the water. Grays, creams, and light woods make up the rest of the color palette.
The Vibe at Sable at Navy Pier
While Navy Pier is a major tourist attraction, the property feels surprisingly secluded and tucked away from the hustle and bustle. That said, the common spaces, mainly the two restaurants, are lively with vibrant ambiances. Located on the main floor, Lirica serves Latin-inspired cuisine like empanadas and Iberian salmon in a stylish, airy space with waterfront views. The 20,000-square-foot Offshore Rooftop’s clear, domed frame and fold-open doors allow for panoramic views and plenty of natural light. Expect craft cocktails and American fare like burgers and pancakes in a buzzy setting featuring sweeping terraces and greens adorned with firepits and lawn games — additionally reservable for private groups. A coffee shop in the lobby further lures guests and non-guests alike for lattes, pastries, and more.
Who Will Love Sable at Navy Pier
Given the hotel's central Navy Pier location, fun-loving travelers — including families and the young at heart — will especially be happy here, as will those wanting a waterfront stay.
Who Might Not Love Sable at Navy Pier
Travelers who want to stay by major attractions like the Magnificent Mile, Millennium Park, and The Art Institute should consider accommodations closer to downtown. Additionally, pets are not allowed, so those traveling with them will need to find alternative lodging.
