The St. Regis Chicago
Modern architectural luxury meets classic St. Regis tradition. The aesthetic leans clean and sophisticated — lake-toned blues and sandy beiges, marble throughout, no fussiness. This is not a stuffy old-world grand hotel; it's sleek and contemporary, but the service rituals (champagne sabrage at sunset, the Bloody Mary) give it real character.
Rooms in the eastern 'cube section' of the building get unobstructed lake views — worth requesting specifically
Why It Matters
Part of the world's tallest skyscraper designed by a female architect (Jeanne Gang), the hotel opened in May 2023 and immediately set a new rate ceiling for Chicago's luxury hotel market — starting at $700+/night on debut. It's also home to the city's only Forbes Five-Star spa, and two Lettuce Entertain You restaurants that became instant destinations in their own right: Miru (11th floor Japanese) and Tre Dita (Chef Evan Funke's first certified Tuscan restaurant in the US).
The St. Regis Chicago sits inside a 101-story supertall skyscraper designed by architect Jeanne Gang — the tallest building in the world designed by a woman — right where the Chicago River spills into Lake Michigan. The hotel occupies floors 1–12, with 159 guest rooms and 33 suites averaging 500–600 sq ft, all kitted out with Frette linens, marble bathrooms, soaking tubs, and floor-to-ceiling windows. Above it all: two serious restaurants from Lettuce Entertain You, Chicago's only Forbes Five-Star spa, and the full St. Regis butler treatment for suite guests.
