Rooftop at Nobu Hotel Chicago
The Rooftop at Nobu Hotel Chicago is a Japanese seafood restaurant located on the top floor of the hotel. The space features floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city skyline and a modern interior that blends traditional Japanese design with contemporary American style.
The Nobu Hotel Chicago opened in 2005 as part of the global Nobu hotel chain founded by chef Nobu Matsuhisa. The brand grew from his pioneering work in blending Japanese techniques with South American ingredients.
The rooftop is accessed from inside the hotel and sits high above street level with open views across the city. Weather conditions can change throughout the day, so visitors may want to arrive early or check conditions beforehand.
This location offers not just dining but a vantage point to watch the city lights from above, especially during sunset hours. The contrast between the Japanese menu and the American urban backdrop creates an unusual eating experience.
