Chicago Hotel Pool And Amenities See Chicago without your pants on (our lawyers would like to clarify that swimsuits are required) The sights from our rooftop deck will leave you weak in the bare knees. Fortunately, our fitness center—complete with modern treadmills, lifecycles, weight machines and free-weights—will help you regain your strength. Whether you work yourself into a tizzy over exercise or seeing the beautiful sailboats on Lake Michigan, not to worry—simply turn from the balcony and stroll to the pool. It’s big. It’s cool. And it’s next to a lovely sauna. |
