Check Availability & Pricing
Hotel Information: The glittering, white terra cotta–and-glass exterior opens to a small, two-story lobby where travelers enjoy a fireplace, mohair chairs, and chocolate brown–leather chairs with leopard-print backs. Coffee table books of Chicago offer browsing appeal. Architectural artifacts from the historic building are mounted in shelves next to books, and framed posters tell the story of the building's past, renovation, and present. A hand-painted, two-story mural recalls the romance of Chicago's 1893 Columbian Exposition. Thick mahogany columns soar dramatically, and in front of iron-gated elevators is a re-creation of the original mosaic-marble floor.
Amenity highlights: Each morning, the Chicago hotel offers complimentary coffee and tea in the lobby. A hosted evening wine reception between 5 PM and 6 PM is crowded with business travelers ending a workday and theater-goers on their way out. Guests can customize their comfort with a pillow library, offering eight options including buckwheat, full body, and neckbrace pillows. Domesticated pets of any size are equally pampered with snacks, food dishes, toys, and special bedding. Staff are also happy to take dogs on walks and offer resources for grooming.
Insider tip: Half-price day-of-performance theater tickets may be purchased at the Hot Tix booth in the Chicago Cultural Center, just two blocks east of the hotel.
