Plans have been put forward to repurpose the lower levels of the John Hancock Building in Chicago into hotel space. This initiative seeks to utilize existing commercial areas within the well-known skyscraper to expand accommodation availability in the city center.

As of May 2026, the proposal remains in its early stages and is centered on the Chicago location. If developed, the conversion could introduce new hotel capacity within this iconic structure, contributing to downtown lodging options.
