Every hotel, plotted by the year its building first rose — from Gilded Age survivors to mid-century modernism. A third way to explore, alongside the grid and the map.
Chicago's hotels are layered like the city itself. Drag or scroll the timeline sideways to travel through the decades; tap any marker to open the hotel. Colors mark the architectural era each building belongs to.
Tap an era to isolate it. Tap again to clear.
Build years reflect the original structure, not later hotel conversions. Where a hotel occupies an older building, the timeline places it by the building's date. Data is shared with the browse and map views.
