Viceroy Chicago
This is a place built on movement and contrast: trains overhead, glasses clinking on patios, music spilling out of clubs and neighborhoods with stories all their own. Look closer, and you’ll find a city whose influence reaches far beyond its streets.
At Viceroy Chicago, meet the people who carry that spirit forward. Preserving the sounds born here, creating new rituals of hospitality, and sharing a Chicago shaped by countless voices but entirely its own.
Kevin “Mega” McFall
For Kevin “Mega” McFall, house music carries the story of the people and places that shaped it, from improvised DJ setups to dance floors that became spaces for expression and community.
Kevin has spent decades preserving that history. At Viceroy Chicago, he traces the music from record stores to The Warehouse, and through the many influences that gave house its sound and the city its place in the story.
Sayo “Chi” Anise
For Sayo “Chi” Anise, a cocktail begins long before anything reaches the glass. Inspiration might come from a morning at the market, an unfamiliar ingredient or an afternoon experimenting with her team. But whatever goes into it, the intention is the same: make someone feel cared for.
Behind the bar at Viceroy Chicago, Sayo brings individual ideas together, from bartenders, to chefs, ingredients, seasons and the city itself, to create something meant to be shared. The drink may be what arrives at the table, but for Sayo, hospitality is what stays with you.
A World Made by Many
No place is made by one person. Behind every Viceroy is a community of people whose knowledge, craft and point of view give it character - shaped by years of practice and a deep connection to the places they call home.
A World Made by Many tells their stories. Across destinations and disciplines, meet the people behind our hotels, discover the work they know best, and explore more of their stories in the Viceroy Journal.
