A development proposal has been put forward to convert the lower floors of the John Hancock building in Chicago into hotel rooms. This initiative focuses on repurposing part of the iconic skyscraper, a well-known feature of the city’s skyline, into hospitality use.

As of May 2026, the plan has been formally submitted for consideration. The concept represents a mixed-use development effort, integrating hotel accommodations within a prominent urban landmark building. Specific details regarding the number of rooms or a timeline for completion have not been disclosed at this stage.
