Nobu Hospitality, the globally established lifestyle brand founded by Chef Nobu Matsuhisa, Robert De Niro and Meir Teper, has announced the completion of Nobu Hotel Chicago (155 N. Peoria Street). On October 1, Nobu Hotel Chicago will unveil its restaurant, suites, meeting spaces, tranquility pool and fitness facility.
Designed by Modif Architecture in collaboration with Studio K, Nobu Hotel Chicago features 115 guest rooms and suites. Nobu Hotel Chicago marks the third project in collaboration with ownership group RCD Hotels and follows the opening of the Miami and Los Cabos properties.
Nobu Restaurant
Open seven days a week, Nobu (854 W. Randolph St) features a lounge, dining room, 28-foot sushi bar and two private dining rooms. The 10,000-square-foot namesake restaurant will offer dishes like Black Cod with Miso, Yellowtail Jalapeño Sashimi and an array of sushi. Nobu Chicago will also feature select dishes, such as Crispy Shiitake Salad Goma Dressing, Kampachi Basil Rocoto Soy, Tai Sweet Shiso and Prime Tenderloin Miso Ponzu.
Upon entering the restaurant from Chicago’s “Restaurant Row,” guests are greeted by towering columns featuring undulating half-moons above patinated copper bases that resemble two-story ancient samurai swords. A natural stone host stand sits in front of a full height wooden slat backdrop. A color base of wet sands is complemented by rich greens, copper and black. Flooring is an end-grain, black wood tile and the walls are coated in sand-colored plaster installed to resemble unfolded, creased origami paper. Designed by Studio K’s Karen Herold, an installation of resin leaves fabricated by hand in Chicago looks like a forest canopy. The sculpture throws organic shadows, reminiscent of leaves falling in autumn, onto the plastered walls.
Inspired by a jewelry box, the stone sushi bar is tucked under the mezzanine. The room’s comparatively low nine-foot ceilings are formed by interlocking wood slats, which also extend upward to create a private dining room on the second floor.
Around the corner, stacked green roof tiles line the main wall leading to the mezzanine. A pre-function space for small gatherings features high top seating, a perch to overlook the restaurant below. Nearby, the two private dining rooms feature carved sliding screens that mask audio visual equipment. Each room boasts its own ensuite restroom for added privacy.
With the opening of the restaurant and change of seasons, The Rooftop at Nobu Hotel Chicago will transition to a lounge atmosphere where reservations no longer will be required. Instead The Rooftop will accept walk-ins and provide priority seating to guests of the hotel. The Rooftop will be open Sunday to Thursday from 4 to 10 pm and Friday to Saturday from 4 to 11 pm. Breakfast will also be available on The Rooftop from 8 to 11 am daily for hotel guests only.
Nobu is open for dinner Sunday to Thursday from 5 to 10 pm and Friday to Saturday from 5 to 11 pm. The restaurant is also open for lunch Friday to Sunday from 11:30 am to 2:30 pm.
Next summer, the restaurant will also feature a 100-seat patio directly on Randolph Street.
