The Art Institute and Millennium Park are a 20-minute stroll away, while Lincoln Park Zoo is situated 2.5 miles from the property.
Pros
Historic landmark status since 1920 with documented visits from celebrities and heads of state
Children's high tea service and partnerships with local toy shops
Concierge access to sold-out event tickets and exclusive restaurant reservations
New England-style nautical themed restaurant with authentic decor
Cons
Busy nightlife scene in surrounding area with crowded clubs and bars
Limited on-site parking availability
“This landmark on the Gold Coast evokes a bygone era, with event spaces that likely outshine its accommodations. I found the location ideal, just steps from Oak Street Beach and the Magnificent Mile. Yet, while tradition oozes from the walls, some areas need a refresh to recapture their original glory.”
