Viceroy Chicago

Viceroy Chicago is on North State Street, a five-minute walk from Water Tower Place. It sits between the commercial density of the Magnificent Mile and the residential blocks of the Gold Coast.

Most hotels in this part of the city feel like anonymous extensions of the shopping district, but this property has a distinct sense of place. While neighbors rely on the sheer scale of the nearby retail corridor to draw guests, the hotel offers a secluded retreat that feels removed from the street-level crush. Choosing it over the larger, high-traffic towers nearby pays off if you prefer a quieter home base after walking back from the Museum of Contemporary Art. It provides a measured buffer from the crowds that dominate the surrounding blocks.
