Soho House Chicago, Illinois

Occupying a former belt factory in the hip Fulton Market District, this private club, workspace and boutique hotel is one of the city’s most stylish hideaways.

Guests of the Soho House hotel have access to all of the club’s sought-after perks, including the heated rooftop pool and bar with their enviable views over Chicago’s West Loop. On the second floor, you’ll find an expansive brick-walled gym complete with boxing ring and relaxation lounges for cooling off after a session. You can also catch a new release in the plush 30-seater screening room, play ping pong in the drawing room and dine on wood-fired pizzas in the House Kitchen.

The 40 bedrooms are very inviting with their high ceilings, reclaimed wood flooring and dark leather and velvet furnishings. Custom-made wallpaper, vintage radiators and the work of local artists complete the decor. Ranging from ‘Tiny’ to ‘Big’, all room types come with rainforest showers whilst the more premium options bring freestanding tubs, dressing tables and seating areas.
