WICKER PARK — Cabana Club — a rooftop lounge and bar that's part of the Robey and the Hollander hotel complex at Wicker Park's main intersection —  opened on Sunday.

The hangout is "a trendy new spot to sip, lay out and relax," operators said. 

In addition to chairs and cushions arranged around a small swimming/dipping pool, the 160-seat deck offers a mix of couches and counter seating with skyline views from the sixth floor and roof of the Hollander, which wraps around the taller, 12-story Robey tower.

The inside of the club features a bar and 60 seats, a mix of small tables, a community table and booths upholstered in blue and white stripes, exuding a beachy, vacation vibe.

The door to the elevator that leads to the Cabana Club is at 1616 N. Milwaukee Ave. — between perfumery Le Labo and Fairgrounds Coffee and Tea Bar — and not on North Avenue where the Robey and the Hollander hotel entrances are located.

Don't plan to pack your swim goggles — the pool is for guests of the hotels only. But the public is welcome to sunbathe on the outdoor deck or enjoy cocktails in the indoor lounge.

According to the Robey and the Hollander's websites, "to the East you'll spot Chicago's 1,127-foot high John Hancock building as well as the tops of more earthly neighborhood churches. You may even catch a glimpse of a passing L train or two — the Damen Station is right here."

Folks who want to take their food and drinks from the indoor lounge to the poolside furniture will be allowed to do so, the spokeswoman said.

Cabana Club, 1616 N. Milwaukee Ave. Ph: (872) 315-3083. Hours are 1 - 11 p.m. Sunday - Thurs.;  1 p.m. to Midnight Friday and Saturday.
