The Robey

Occupying two distinctly different landmark buildings in Chicago’s Wicker Park neighborhood, The Robey draws a hip and creative crowd with synergistic design and a smorgasbord of culinary offerings. Situated at the six-way intersection of Milwaukee, Damen, and North Avenues inside the Northwest Tower—a limestone Art Deco structure known colloquially as the Coyote Building—and an adjoining old fireproof warehouse, the property scoops up curious gourmands with Modern American cuisine at the ground-floor Café Robey. Sky-high cocktails are also served at The Up Room rooftop cocktail lounge, which gazes out over Chicago’s ever-changing cityscape. The 89-room hotel by Grupo Habita also offers meeting facilities and a swanky Panorama suite and bar, which are more attuned to sober sophistication, while the hotel’s Robey Hall, inside the old Hollander Fireproof Warehouse, is a multifunctional event space.
