Built for the 1893 World’s Fair, this hotel faces Grant Park and is 4 blocks from the Art Institute and 2 blocks from Loop theaters.
Spacious guestrooms, some of which are suites, have Victorian-style furnishings and Internet access. Most also have spectacular views.
This European-style hotel has both vintage touches, such as Italian mosaics in the lobby, and modern touches, such as a game room.
