I stayed in a Premier Deluxe Suite with sliding panel doors separating the bedroom from the living room.

Sitting outdoors on The Terrace, surrounded by brilliant skyline views, was a good choice.

The Lobby is another beauty, with floor-to-ceiling windows, open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Experience afternoon tea service, which is one of the best in Chicago.
