Interior Design Maven Nicole Alexander Frequents AIRE Ancient Baths and Good Measure

Principal of the all-woman firm Siren Betty Design, Nicole Alexander’s roster boasts some of the city’s most inviting interiors, from Celeste’s deco design to West Loop bed-and-breakfast The Publishing House. This summer, she adds a few more: Spice Road-inspired Kaliflower, Tortello Italian and City Hall, a chic event space. If anyone knows where to have a good time, it’s her.
