After sitting in a state of deterioration and near vacancy, the historic Cedar Hotel on Chicago’s iconic State Street was revamped into an 18-story boutique hotel. The new development incorporated the hotel’s existing facade to maintain continuity with the neighborhood’s street-level aesthetic. It added a large glass tower of upper floors to expand the property’s accommodations. The finished Viceroy Hotel is a beautiful pairing of new and old; a contemporary luxury hotel with old Chicago charm.
