Vibe
Formerly the 1920s era Cedar Hotel, the Viceroy combines historic architectural elements like the original façade with a sleek modern remodel. The rooms are decorated with a hip retro vibe, but boast cool modern finishes and fixtures.
-
Location
Smack in the center of Chicago’s Gold Coast neighborhood. You are steps away from designer shopping on the Magnificent Mile and Lake Michigan. The downside to this prime Chi-Town real estate? Expect some crowds.

Health & Wellness
The rooftop lounge, Devereaux, and seasonal pool on the hotel’s 18th floor offer a premier view of the city that stretches all the way to Lake Michigan. Don’t expect to do any laps at the hotel pool though. Its atmosphere is more party than fitness. Fear not athletes, there is also a nice gym on the 5th floor where you can sweat out the deep dish.
-
Restaurant
In addition to Devereaux on the roof, which offers small plates and sandwiches, the first two floors of the hotel are home to Somerset which is open daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, serving seasonal American cuisine. Michelin starred Chef Lee Wolen of Boka Restaurant Group really brings her A-game to this fine dining establishment. Dinner was one of the best meals I’ve had all year. You’ll definitely want to make a reservation in advance.
-
Bar
You are set on drinks between the more casual vibe of Devereaux on the roof, and the beautiful bar at Somerset on the ground floor.
-
Minibar
The mini bar is well stocked with beer, wine and other beverages, as well as an array of snacks. Each room also has a Nespresso machine for your morning coffee. The hotel stocks every room with its own craft cocktail kit so that guests can enjoy a Gin Collins in bed if so inclined.
-
Children
While I didn’t see many, you could go either way on this one. The rooms are on the larger side and the hotel is located next to Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria, as well as plenty of kid friendly shopping and adventure. Pets are also welcome.

Price
Affordable luxury.
