Pros
Half-size basketball court and outdoor running track offer unique fitness options
Atlantic Ballroom provides 20-foot windows with Lake Michigan views
Electric car-charging stations available on-site
Lifestyle garden provides quiet space away from city noise
Cons
Willis Tower and Skydeck Chicago require a 2-mile journey
Hotel entrance located at back of building requires additional navigation
“In my opinion, this downtown Chicago hotel stands out for its modern luxury and architectural distinction, particularly the work of Jeanne Gang. I was impressed by the range of amenities, from the rooftop pool with skyline views to the full fitness center. Its location is ideal for exploring Millennium Park and the Magnificent Mile.”
