Selva, the agave-forward rooftop lounge perched atop The Emily Hotel in Fulton Market, has quietly gone offline. The seventh-floor bar and restaurant at 311 N. Morgan Street is now marked closed on its own website, leaving one of the neighborhood's higher-profile rooftops dark for now. The change was first reported by Crain's Chicago Business on April 1. Selva had been a weekend nightlife draw since the hotel opened in 2022.
How It Came To Light
According to Crain's Chicago Business, Selva's online reservation system and event listings have been pulled from public view. The outlet flagged the update after readers noticed the change on the lounge's site, putting the closure on the radar for Fulton Market watchers.
Selva's Message Online
Anyone heading to Selva's homepage now gets a short, cryptic note instead of menus and booking options. The site reads, 'Selva is closed. What's next is better. Watch this space,' a bare bones message that replaces the usual content. The statement appears on Selva and does not offer any timeline for a return.
At The Emily Hotel
Selva sits on the seventh floor of The Emily Hotel and is listed among the property's Eat & Drink offerings at 311 N. Morgan St. The hotel bills Selva as an 'agave‑forward rooftop lounge' on its dining overview, as shown on The Emily Hotel.
Fulton Market's Shifting Scene
Selva going dark, at least for now, lands amid other hospitality shakeups in Fulton Market. In January, Time Out Market closed after years of uneven weekday crowds and rising costs. Block Club Chicago covered that shutdown and its fallout for vendors and staff in the neighborhood. Together, those moves have pushed the West Loop and Fulton Market to reassess large food and beverage projects this winter.
Events And Private Bookings
Selva's event and buyout materials show the rooftop can host up to about 250 guests, with three fully functioning bars and two outdoor sections laid out for larger groups. Those details are spelled out in the lounge's buyout packet. That document is still live on the restaurant's site even as the homepage carries only the holding message, a combination that could complicate upcoming private plans. Capacity and setup specifics remain available via Selva.
What We Don't Know
Beyond the one line homepage notice, Selva has not publicly explained the closure or hinted at what might come next. There is no posted timetable for any reopening, and The Emily Hotel has yet to issue a separate statement. This story will be updated if Selva or The Emily Hotel shares more or announces a new plan for the rooftop space.
