History
Viceroy Chicago opened in 2017 as a transformation of the historic Cedar Hotel site on the Gold Coast. A modernist glass tower of guest rooms and suites rises from the 1920s red-brick and terra-cotta base at 1118 North State Street. Chef Verlord Laguatan leads Somerset, the Mediterranean dining room; Pandan is the eighteenth-floor rooftop lounge with Southeast Asian-Western small plates. Michelin awarded One Key in 2025; AAA Four Diamond the same year.
The setting
Viceroy Chicago rises at 1118 North State Street in Chicago's Gold Coast, its modernist glass tower built upon the original 1920s Cedar Hotel base of red brick and terra-cotta. Oak Street, the city's most prestigious shopping row with international couture houses and local luxury boutiques, is steps away, and Lake Michigan's lakefront trail is within easy reach. The Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago lies fourteen minutes on foot, and the surrounding neighborhood's 19th-century mansions, acclaimed restaurants, and quiet residential character distinguish this stretch of State Street as one of Chicago's most compelling luxury addresses.
