The place
In River North, two blocks from the Magnificent Mile and close to the Chicago Riverwalk and House of Blues, placing guests inside the city's nightlife corridor.
The concept
ACME Hotel Chicago returns as one of the debut properties of Outset Collection, Hilton's 25th brand and eighth lifestyle label, built for independently minded hotels that keep their own character rather than a standardized chain look. Murals, retro-cool interiors and smart-tech rooms carry over the hotel's long-running ties to Chicago's music and art scenes.
Dining & wellness
West Town Bakery supplies coffee and pastries in the lobby, with the Berkshire Room cocktail lounge covering evenings.
