In
this spectacular lobby, one solidly arrives
at the early, classical Italian Renaissance.
Here, the beauty of this era is displayed
with an array of classical Renaissance paintings
above each elevator. The ceiling illustrations
depict Italian ruins, temples, aqueducts
and scenes of nature in the Renaissance
style.
Hotel
Inter-Continental Chicago combines

The hotel's historic South Tower was
originally built in 1929 as the Medinah
Athletic Club. The contemporary North

around the world creates a truly unique
hotel environment.

floor of the historic South
Tower, the Presidential Suite
overlooks both famed Michigan
Avenue as well as Lake Michigan.
A two-level suite, the luxurious
living room boasts a beautiful
staircase leading to the

above. Floor-to-ceiling windows
add a spectacular touch.
