St. Regis has welcomed guests to a gleaming new hotel in Chicago’s Lakeshore East district, located across the street from its branded multi-million-dollar residences, overlooking Lake Michigan.
Set across 11 floors of a 101-story skyscraper – the third tallest building in Chicago – the latest outpost is the perfect base from which to explore the area’s gourmet eateries, boutique shops and galleries.
The hotel features 159 guestrooms and 33 elegant suites, many of which boast gorgeous views of the skyline and lake below. KTGY Simeone Deary Design Group was brought in to craft the minimalist interiors; marine-blue carpets nod to the waterside location while floor-to-ceiling windows ensure the setting takes center stage. Expect the hotel’s signature Butler Service with everything taken of from garment pressing to packing services.

When it comes to dining at St. Regis Chicago, you’re in for a real treat. Up on the 11th floor, you’ll find Miru – the hotel’s modern Japanese restaurant. The best place to take in the stunning views across Lake Michigan, Navy Pier and the Chicago River is from the eatery’s expansive outdoor terrace.
Helmed by chef/ partner Hisanobu Osaka, Naoki Kakashima, and executive chef Helmy Saadon, the menu is a glorious celebration of the flavors of Japan. Stand-out dishes include crispy whole snapper with a zinging herb salad and ginger miso; spicy bluefin tuna crispy rice; and Miyazaki wagyu zabuton steak with shishito peppers.
