Not Just Lodging And Accommodations In Chicago, But Rooms For Our Guests

You’ll enjoy our Chicago accents

Each of our Chicago hotel rooms and suites features a new, colorful décor that complements the springtime array of flowers in neighboring Grant Park. Sleek desks with ergonomic seating welcome business travelers preparing for a show at McCormick Place, as well as tourists planning a day at Navy Pier.

Granite countertops and contemporary tiles grace the remodeled bathrooms, along with rich wood accents. Crisp linens surround plush bedding—the perfect backdrop for sipping early-morning coffee or falling asleep to HBO on the flat screen.
