Live like a local in a community steeped with tradition
Wrigley experience. It would help preserve the national landmark as a principal destination for tourists and residents of Chicago.
Contributing architecture and guest room interior design to the project, we designed the hotel to serve as a dramatic counterpart to the ballpark. The elliptical tower anchors the building at the corner of Clark and Addison Street, with the overall design responding to the stepped facades of the Wrigley Field. The choice of materials—masonry, exposed metal, and tinted and clear glass—create a timeless aesthetic.
Through the first-level main doors, there’s a tall, vintage style, street lamp reminiscent of the original Wrigley Field lamps from 1914. Wood flooring and concrete mosaic tile cover the floors, while plaster, brick, and wood cladding grace the walls. The guestroom design evokes a sense of nostalgia using familiar residential details typical of the early 20th century Chicago.
With a warm color palette, an eclectic mix of furnishings, and carefully curated artwork featuring historical ballpark photos, Hotel Zachary allows all guests to feel immersed in history.
