An Art Deco tower at the six-corners intersection in Wicker Park — the former Coyoacan Building, renamed and converted into a boutique hotel that uses its height (rare for the neighbourhood) to deliver rooftop views of the Chicago skyline from a vantage point no other hotel in the area can match. The rooms are compact and design-forward, with the narrow footprint of the original building creating spaces that feel more like well-designed cabins than traditional hotel rooms. The rooftop bar, Up & Up, is the draw — a skyline panorama from Wicker Park that reframes the city from the northwest side, where the downtown towers are distant enough to be beautiful rather than imposing.

Insider Intel
A corner room on an upper floor for the skyline view through the Art Deco windows. The rooftop bar at sunset — the skyline from this angle, with the Hancock and Willis towers catching the last light, is genuinely spectacular. The Robey's location at six-corners means Wicker Park, Bucktown, and the Blue Line are all within a two-minute walk.
Summer and early fall for the rooftop bar and the Wicker Park street energy. The six-corners intersection is at its most alive from June through September. Winter rates drop significantly and the neighbourhood is quieter but the rooftop closes.
The rooms are small — the Art Deco building was not designed for hotel-sized rooms, and the conversion prioritized design over square footage. If space matters to you, book the larger room categories. The rooftop bar is open to the public and can be crowded on weekend evenings. The Blue Line Damen station is a one-minute walk, putting you 15 minutes from the Loop by train. Room rates run $200-400. The six-corners intersection is loud — request a room facing away from North/Damen/Milwaukee if noise is a concern.
