“There's a distinct elegance to this historic building that's hard to ignore, and it certainly lends a sense of occasion to a stay. While some of the rooms lean towards being snug, the hotel's robust amenities, particularly its impressive fitness center and pool, do much to compensate. The prime location, placing you within easy reach of significant city landmarks, is undeniably a major draw for exploring Chicago.”
