A TALE OF TWO CITIES
The mind behind the travel book Cool Chicago, Kathleen Maguire, is at it again with a second book coming out in July. Chicago Then and Now is a gorgeously crafted photographic retrospective featuring historic images of the Windy City juxtaposed with their modern-day
counterparts. Highlighting historic locations such as the Biograph Theater, Navy Pier, and the remnants of the 1893 World’s Fair, the book shows the breathtaking transformation the city has undergone over the last 150 years. Highly curated archival footage paired with stunning modern photography creates a showstopping addition to any coffee table. Rizzoli Bookstores and rizzoliusa.com
Hello, Hoxton
Yet another British invasion is coming this season, to the heart of Fulton Market District, with the opening of the latest UK hospitality import from the Hoxton Hotel chain: The Hoxton Chicago, the third hotel to be opened in North America by developer group Ennismore. Unlike its counterparts, however, the hotel will be the first from the brand to feature a rooftop pool, a wellness studio with mind-and-body programming, and a coworking space perfect for visitors and locals alike. With comfortable and stylish midcentury modern– style rooms featuring artwork curated by gallerists from local Johalla Projects, two fantastic restaurants, and an intimate cocktail lounge, we are sure this space is to become a firm favorite among even the most discerning guests. thehoxton.com
