Chicago
Japanese minimalism meets Chicago industrial chic. Think Venetian plaster walls, natural wood, indigo accents, and teak soaking tubs — all sitting above a buzzy street-level restaurant with red chairs and a flower chandelier. The vibe is design-forward and intimate.
Reserve the rooftop well in advance on weekends — it books up fast in summer and fall
Why It Matters
Michelin Key recipient (2024). One of only a handful of Nobu Hotels worldwide and the only one in the Midwest. The full-brand integration — hotel, ground-floor restaurant, and rooftop bar all under the Nobu umbrella — is rare and makes dining feel genuinely central to the stay, not an afterthought.
Nobu Hotel Chicago opened in 2019 in the heart of Fulton Market, bringing 115 rooms of Japanese minimalism to Chicago's most restaurant-dense neighborhood. The brand — born from the collaboration between Robert De Niro and Chef Nobu Matsuhisa — runs the whole show here: the design, the food, the service philosophy. It's a compact, 12-floor property with a serious dining operation. Look, the hotel could coast on the Nobu name alone, but it earns its keep with meticulous room details, a solid indoor pool, and one of the better hotel rooftop bars in the city.
