History
The Robey occupies two historic buildings at the six-corner intersection of Damen, Milwaukee, and North Avenues in Chicago's Wicker Park. The 12-story, 203-foot Northwest Tower, a triangular Art Deco office building designed by Perkins, Chatten & Hammond and completed in 1929, was nicknamed the Coyote Building for its silhouette. Mexico's Grupo Habita, led by Carlos Couturier and Moisés Micha, converted it into a hotel that opened in November 2016, with interiors by Belgian designers Nicolas Schuybroek Architects and Marc Merckx Interiors. The hotel takes its name from Robey Street, the former name of Damen Avenue. Twenty multi-bed loft rooms occupy the adjoining 1905 Hollander Fireproof Warehouse, fitted by DELORDINAIRE architects. The property is a member of Design Hotels.
