In Fulton Market, The Hoxton, Chicago adopts the brick-and-steel language of the district’s former warehouses while centring the building on a lofty, plant-filled lobby. The 182 rooms are restrained and tactile, with leather headboards, brass reading lights, timber floors and large industrial-style windows. Cira brings Mediterranean cooking to the ground floor, Cabra occupies the rooftop beside the seasonal pool, and basement bar Lazy Bird pairs an extensive cocktail list with live music. Concrete columns, communal tables and the double-height bar keep the public spaces closely tied to the West Loop’s social rhythm.
