Check Availability & Pricing
Hotel Information: Five floors above street level, the soaring atrium lobby at Embassy Suites Chicago Downtown-Lakefront provides a contemporary setting. A double-sided, black-granite waterfall divides the space, and a row of bamboo plants two stories tall sets apart the breakfast area. A glass wall looks into the lap pool and spa tub.
Amenity highlights: Ranking high among this Embassy Suites' most popular amenities is the daily complimentary, cooked-to-order breakfast, which serves items such as omelets and bacon. A daily manager’s reception with wine, beer, cocktails, and appetizers is also well-attended. Fitness options include an indoor lap pool, spa tub, and sauna; and a cardio room with treadmills and weight, elliptical, and stair machines.
Insider tip: The complimentary blue-line trolley stops across the street from the hotel, taking riders east to Navy Pier, and west to the Magnificent Mile and State Street.
