Soho House Chicago

Chicago, Illinois

The Fulton Market outpost occupies a former belt factory, and the conversion is beautifully done — exposed brick, original timber, that specific Soho House talent for making industrial spaces feel warm. Even if you're not a member, the hotel rooms are open to all, and staying here puts you at the epicenter of Chicago's most exciting neighborhood. The rooftop pool in summer is absurd.

Insider tip

Book a Tiny room if you're budget-conscious — they're small but beautifully designed. The rooftop pool is open to hotel guests regardless of membership.

Alinea

Grant Achatz's three-Michelin-star temple of molecular gastronomy is still the most ambitious restaurant in America. Every course is a provocation — edible balloons, desserts painted directly on the table, flavors you didn't know existed. It's not dinner. It's a performance that happens to involve food, and it will rearrange your understanding of what a restaurant can be.

Joe's Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab

Not the flashiest name, not the trendiest address, but the stone crab claws flown in from Miami are the real deal and the prime rib is as good as any steakhouse charging twice the price. The dining room has that old-money Chicago energy — white tablecloths, professional service, martinis that arrive cold and correct. A power-lunch institution that earns its reputation nightly.

The Robey
StayWicker Park

The Robey

A boutique hotel built into the iconic Coyote Building at the six corners of Wicker Park. The art deco bones are stunning, the rooms are compact but clever, and the rooftop bar — Cabana Club in summer, Up Room year-round — delivers one of the best skyline views in the city. You're steps from the best eating and drinking in Chicago.

StaySouth Congress · Austin, Texas

Hotel San José

Liz Lambert turned a 1930s motor court into the coolest hotel in Austin, and twenty years later it still feels like a secret. The rooms are minimal — Japanese-inspired, with concrete floors and Malin+Goetz products — and the courtyard pool is where half of Austin's creative class pretends to run into each other by accident.

StayWilliamsburg · New York, New York

The Wythe Hotel

A converted 1901 cooperage on the Williamsburg waterfront that set the template for Brooklyn's boutique hotel scene. The exposed brick and factory windows are original, the rooms are airy and restrained, and the rooftop bar has Manhattan skyline views that feel like a movie set. It's the hotel that made people believe Brooklyn could be a destination.
