The new name, the St. Jane Chicago, pays homage to Chicago social worker and activist Jane Addams, who ran the Hull House on the city's West Side, according to the property's owner.
Rebranding the landmark Carbide & Carbon Building takes a different approach from some other Michigan Avenue boutique hotels that have opened in recent years — such as Chicago Athletic Association on South Michigan Avenue and LondonHouse to the north — that took names from their buildings' colorful history. Addams won a Nobel Peace Prize in 1931, two years after the 40-story Carbide & Carbon Building was completed, but has no connection to the building.
