The hotel and the residences at Millie on Michigan will have access to a shared, fully-outfitted fitness center. The amenity space on the fourth floor of the hotel includes an indoor/outdoor space. The rooftop terraces, facing west down the Chicago River main stem and east toward the lake, offer 360-degree views from 510 feet above the city streets.

The facade on the bKL Architecture-designed tower includes Vision Glass glazing patterned according to the internal programming. The building has a rectilinear shape, with various setbacks and cut-outs. The fourth and fifth floors are set back from Michigan Avenue to allow for the hotel’s open-air amenity terrace. The crown is also set back to allow for the two aforementioned rooftop terraces.

Curious to see what will go into the retail space, relatively high profile location
I couldn’t help but completely not notice 300 Michigan and only be interested in looking at Carbide & Carbon.
Same! Haha
Hard to form a strong opinion of the mural art on the ceiling of the amenity terrace from these pictures alone, but I don’t remember seeing that in any of the renderings. Initial impression is that it was a brilliant idea to add this artwork to inject some street-level energy and panache into what is otherwise a fairly bland and underwhelming building.
Agree, was a great last-minute surprise to add the ceiling mural
if the Art Work was to become an important part of the “architecture” of this building, why did it not pop out as a vertical sign unfolded or, wrap upward instead of the ‘stupid’ signage glued on after the fact above….integrating it into the building would have been profoundly better.
Chicago’s Carbide and Carbon building’s Michigan Avenue prominence presages the Chrysler building’s prominence in NYC’s Midtown East 42nd Street view corridor once the supertall One Commodore project comes to fruition.
I bet the C&C looks cool reflecting off this. More hotel rooms and apartments, a net positive.
As finished, it may be one of the rare instances I wish a building were shorter (where the balcony zips up the front) as to not block C&C. If only it were taller and featured a more provoking design.
I think the quality of the decor is outstanding, very well done!!!
