About Virgin Hotels, Chicago

Steps away from the iconic shopping, dining and entertainment of Michigan Avenue’s Magnificent Mile, this downtown Chicago boutique hotel puts a spin on modern luxury and comfort, offering 3 on-site restaurants, a rooftop bar and nightclub and expansive meeting and social spaces. Each lifestyle-focused room at Virgin Hotels Chicago is designed with focus and relaxation in mind, offering a large dressing room area separated from the bedroom by sliding door panels. The dressing area features a closet with ample shelving and storage space, a well-lit make-up desk and a luxury walk-in shower with a rainfall shower head. An ergonomic bed and a 42-inch flat-screen LG Smart TV are provided in the bedroom area.

Upscale Italian eats are on the menu at Miss Ricky's restaurant, offering breakfast, lunch, and dinner as well as weekend brunch and al fresco dining. Panoramic views of the iconic city skyline surround the outdoor rooftop bar and nightclub. The Commons Club provides flexible public space to lounge or co-work, going from day to night for on-site events with a stunning bar and modern chef’s kitchen. A premium coffee bar is also available at the hotel, featuring pastries, breakfast sandwiches, and La Colombe coffee.

Guests can get a laugh while reading any of the unique, whimsical books from the hotel library or relax near a fire on cozy furniture in the Trophy Room.

This property has 4 on-site restaurants: The Commons Club, Cerise Rooftop Lounge, 203 Coffee and Wine Bar, and Miss Ricky's

An entertaining stay at the... Liked: First- an excellent location. The SI Resort appears to be a fresh operation: the staff was fantastic and a really over-the-top happy hour that became a must-do. The rooms are very funky (?): odd layouts, original decorations, a bit retro. Disliked: Quite pricey (but maybe not by Chicago standards). There are few amenities.
