Entry Description

Hotel EMC2 is a new Autograph Collection gem near Chicago’s Northwestern University medical campus. Rockwell Group merged the worlds of the scientist and artist for the eclectic interiors, celebrating a sense of discovery, creativity, and innovation.

Inspired by the artist's and scientist’s shared interest in collecting, a bookcase extends into the lobby, creating nooks of curiosities. A custom reception desk is made of polished rose gold and glass.

The simple yet refined residential aesthetic of the 195 guestrooms is balanced with imaginative, custom touches.
