Everything-right down to the artsy fleur-de-lis printed wallpaper found in the bathroom-has been carefully curated to reflect the impeccable eye of its former owner, Timothy Blackstone, who was a great art collector and lover in the city. Kennedy and historical icons like Al Capone and Nat King Cole- Blackstone runs a close second to LondonHouse for those looking for somewhere chic and modern that won’t cost a million dollars.
We also love that there’s a selection of rooms with accessibility features, such as roll-in showers and notification devices for the hearing impaired.įrom $369 per night, 31, 85 Wacker Dr., Chicago, IL, 60601 ĭubbed the “Hotel of Presidents” for the famous guests who’ve frequented its halls-including Presidents Teddy Roosevelt, Jimmy Carter, Harry Truman, Dwight D. There’s room service (a must for any top-ranking hotel, in my humble opinion), a stunning rooftop space where you can take in one of the best views of the Chicago River the city has to offer, a lovely spa and a 24-hour fitness center. Rather, everything from the sunny lobby, where afternoon tea is served daily, to the espresso machine (ooh la la!) and robe you’ll find in your suite cupboards, is welcoming and cozy. And yet, there’s none of the pretentiousness you might expect for the space. Don’t get me wrong-this place is nice (like, up to $498 per night, per room nice). Sure, it’s not the fanciest you’ll find in the city (that honor goes to the Peninsula, listed below), but that’s actually part of its charm. LondonHouse is, by far, my favorite hotel that I’ve ever stayed at in Chicago. Who knows? You might even be inspired to take a staycation. They also boast the kind of amenities that will have your jaw on the floor (have you seen the Four Seasons' pool?).īelow, find our picks for the 17 spots with the most dazzling accommodations of them all, from a storied hotel that's more or less been around since the Great Chicago Fire to a brand new hotspot for celeb-watching. These top-notch accommodations have it all, from VIP-level service that will have you feeling like the second coming of Mariah Carey to dining options from Top Chef-worthy restaurants (really, though, Stephanie Izard is the executive chef at The Hoxton’s Cabra). While any hotel is bound to have a hiccup or two here and there (it happens), they’re sure to be way fewer and farther between at the best hotels in Chicago. No matter how good of a time you have on your trip, you tend to remember the not-so-great moments, like if your check-in was delayed by two hours, forcing you to haul your heavy bags around town, or if your room was dirty once you finally arrived at it.
A great hotel can make or break your impression of a city.
