Gayot "This iconic tower in downtown Chicago houses 334 stylish rooms, including fifteen king suites, two Lakeshore suites and the Aqua two-bedroom Presidential Suite."
Condé Nast Traveler "Set inside an undulating, 82-story skyscraper designed by architect Jeanne Gang, this hotel takes Scandinavian design to rather sleek heights, even if it only occupies the first 18 floors." Full review

About half of the rooms have balconies (a Chicago rarity) so request one; there’s no extra charge.

Gayot "This makes this already-distinctive property even more unique. With only 35 guest rooms reservations here aren't always easy to come by."
Condé Nast Traveler "The second-largest Soho House debuts in the city’s hip West Loop, in a 1907 warehouse that’s been converted into a hotel and private club with 40 guest rooms." Full review
Afar Magazine "With a room key comes all the perks afforded to members, like access to all restaurants, the gym (which features a professional boxing ring), a movie screening theater, and the swanky rooftop pool." Full review
Time Out "Soho House started in London, then added locations around Europe, as well as New York and Los Angeles." Full review
Wallpaper "Each property in the rapidly expanding Soho House portfolio seems to outdo itself, and the group’s latest outpost - this time in Chicago - is no exception." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Designed as a haven for people with creative professions to have a home away from home, Soho House isn't just a hotel, it's also a member's club." Full review

"This West Loop hotel/private club brilliantly manages to never actually feel like a hotel." Full review
goop "There’s a rooftop pool, a killer house restaurant (and a separate white-tablecloth option), Cowshed spa, tricked-out gym with boxing ring, and a 40-room hotel." Full review
Fodor's "This private members club feels like a bohemian artist's loft; it's not uncommon to find artists, architects, and musicians lounging in the chandelier-decked lobby." Full review
