The concept
Hotel Julian occupies the historic Atlantic Bank Building, originally designed by architect Benjamin Marshall — a $75M adaptive-reuse project by Oxford Capital Group and Quadrum Global that added a five-storey glass addition on top of the 1920s structure while preserving original details, including century-old brick, in the lobby and restaurant. It is the original Chicago flagship of the Hotel Julian brand; a second property, Hotel Julian San Francisco, opened later at a separate address.
Dining & wellness
About Last Knife, a modern take on the steakhouse with a progressive beverage programme, occupies the ground floor with both indoor and outdoor seating.
