Nobu Hotel Chicago

Nobu Hotel Chicago

On Randolph Street in Chicago's Fulton Market District, the tinted glass façade of Nobu Hotel Chicago sits directly above Restaurant Row, where former warehouses now hold some of the city's most sought-after kitchens and bars. Inside, 115 rooms across eight floors follow a design brief the hotel calls strikingly simple and genuinely tranquil, Japanese minimalism set against the neighborhood's industrial heritage, a sanctuary above the bustling streets below. The hotel belongs to The Leading Hotels of the World, and it has something none of its Fulton Market neighbors can offer: a Nobu Restaurant on site, serving Chef Nobu Matsuhisa's signature dishes, with The Rooftop at Nobu Chicago adding a second perch above the street. Guests drawn by the food, or by a design-led base near the area's galleries, boutiques, and nightlife, will find an indoor pool, a steam room, and fitness facilities for a quiet reset, a massage room for the same, and the Kawa Ballroom for events up to 150 guests. Pets under 25 lbs travel for a flat $150 fee, up to two per room. Concierge, dry-cleaning, luggage storage, and 24-hour reception handle the practical side without fuss. Anyone wanting an outdoor pool or a quieter, low-key pocket of the city should look elsewhere: this sits directly above the bustle of Fulton Market, built around one restaurant's reputation as much as its own rooms. Check-in runs from 4pm, check-out at 11am. The address does most of the selling: step outside and Restaurant Row is already there, no cab required. Above Randolph Street's Restaurant Row in Fulton Market, this 115-room Leading Hotels of the World property runs its own Nobu Restaurant and rooftop, plus an indoor pool and Kawa Ballroom for events up to 150. It suits diners and design-focused travelers more than resort-seekers wanting outdoor space.
