What you're near — and what you're not
- Magnificent Mile shopping (in the heart of it)
- Lake Michigan & Oak Street Beach (short walk)
- Downtown and the river (walkable)
- West Loop and Fulton Market dining (~15 min car)
- Wicker Park / Logan Square nightlife (further out)
What you're paying for
Rooms are large and comfortable with marble baths; the high-floor lake-view rooms are the ones to book. Expect classic, plush furnishings rather than cutting-edge design, plus full luxury service and amenities.
