Viceroy Chicago
Rising from the landmarked 1920s-era Cedar Hotel, Viceroy Chicago is a stunning property full of contrasts: historic yet modern, luxurious yet relaxed, and trendy with a feeling of timelessness.
Located in Chicago's gorgeous Gold Coast neighborhood, the hotel is centrally located but far enough removed from the tourist-centric Loop. Here's our complete review.
What You Need to Know
The Look of Viceroy Chicago
The bulk of the hotel is a sleek 18-story glass high-rise, setback far enough from street level to allow the delicately preserved Neo-Classical facade of the original Cedar Hotel to shine. Inside, a 30-foot tableau featuring quotes from poet Marcel Proust serves as the centerpiece of the marble and brass-accented lobby. Colorful elements of Art Deco and Mid-Century Modern blend throughout the guest rooms, suites, and common areas to create a sophisticated ambiance that feels simultaneously classic and modern.
The Vibe at Viceroy Chicago
Upscale, yet comfortable and unpretentious. At ground level, American restaurant Somerset welcomes locals enjoying post-work happy hour drinks and meals, as well as out-of-towners on its expansive seasonal patio. The 18th-floor rooftop bar, Devereaux, offers panoramic views of the Chicago skyline and Lake Michigan. The views are so stunning you may forget to order a specialty cocktail or take a dip in the terrace pool.
Who Will Love Viceroy Chicago
Couples and groups of friends seeking out a top-notch hotel experience with a convenient location and more authentic feel -- especially when compared to the cluster of big-name hotels nearby -- will appreciate a stay here.
Who Might Not Love Viceroy Chicago
Families with young kids who may want to let loose or travelers on a shoestring budget may choose to look elsewhere for accommodations in the Windy City.
