Swissotel Chicago - A 42-story triangular glass tower with panoramic views of Lake Michigan, Chicago River, and the city skyline

Located where the Chicago River meets Lake Michigan, this 661-room Chicago hotel occupies a distinctive triangular glass building designed by architect Harry Weese. Every room features a flat-screen LCD TV, oversized workspace with ergonomic chair, and separate bath and shower. The Palm restaurant serves breakfast daily from 6:30 AM to 10:30 AM and remains open for lunch and dinner until 10 PM, while Amuse offers casual dining in the lobby lounge. The 43rd-floor Penthouse Fitness Center provides workout equipment with city views. For events, Swissotel Chicago offers 65000 square feet of space, including the 14000-square-foot Zurich Ballroom with 17-foot ceilings and the crystal chandelier-adorned Élevé on the 42nd floor. The property sits within 0.5 miles of Grant Park and Maggie Daley Park, and 0.5 miles from The Magnificent Mile's shopping and dining.

Pros

Express elevators provide direct access from lobby to 42nd floor events space

Located at the intersection of Chicago River and Lake Michigan for dual water views

Multi-media docking stations allow simultaneous use of multiple devices

Premier Corner King rooms offer 425 square feet with panoramic views

Cons

Self-parking costs $65 per day

Breakfast not included in standard room rates

“Swissotel Chicago's all-glass triangular design immediately catches the eye, and inside, I found the suites offer panoramic views of the lake and city; event spaces are extensive, suitable for large gatherings. The steakhouse, The Palm, has a solid reputation, making this a worthwhile option if those qualities align with your priorities.”
