3 MIN READ – High above the bustling streets of the Loop, Boleo invites you to embark on a vibrant journey to Latin America—no passport required. Perched on the 15th floor of the Kimpton Gray Hotel, this rooftop oasis blends Latin-inspired cuisine, refreshing cocktails, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels like a world away.


From the moment you step off the elevator, you’re surrounded by the earthy tones, natural materials, and graceful design elements that define Boleo’s refreshed look. The space is designed to feel like a retreat—an open-air escape with a retractable glass roof, lush floral details, and artful touches that celebrate Latin American culture.

Led by Executive Chef Luis Silva, the menu highlights the best of Pan-Latin traditions with a modern twist. From shareable small plates to signature cocktails like the Pisco Sour or zero-proof Amalfi Spritz, every dish and drink is crafted to bring people together. “Our menu is a love letter to the diverse flavors and traditions of Latin America,” says Chef Silva. “It’s an invitation to savor the journey with us, one bite at a time.”

At Boleo, the energy is as dynamic as the flavors. Salsa Night lights up the rooftop once a month, where live bands, DJs, and expert dance instructors ensure an unforgettable evening. Whether you’re gathering for a private celebration in the Ezperanza room or simply toasting the sunset with friends, Boleo creates moments to savor and stories to share.

Located at 122 West Monroe St., Boleo welcomes guests Tuesday through Thursday from 3 to 10 p.m. and Friday through Saturday from 3 to 11 p.m., with happy hour from 3 to 6 p.m. Whether you’re stopping by for drinks, dinner, or a night of dancing, Boleo is where the flavors of Latin America and the spirit of Chicago come together.
