Lots of cool places to explore in Wicker Park.
The rooftop bar, Up & Up, has hidden outdoor seating.
Curated, minimal design throughout the hotel.
In-room radio makes for a happier wake-up call.
Woolrich blankets keep you cozy.

Highs & Lows
The hotel mixes heritage and modernity extremely well - you feel like you’re sleeping in a piece of history.
Wicker Park is a perfect area to wander around and there is always something going on (great music venues and restaurants in close proximity).
Le Labo products leave you smelling nice n’ clean.
The second floor café is a great place to relax and catchup on work.
Your hotel room key has an energy-saving light feature. Lights will only turn on when in place, and automatically turns everything off as you leave.
The hotel is very close to a train line- great for accessibility, but might be a little loud later in the evening.
