Spectacular
building designed by French architect Jean-Paul
Viguier with commanding views of the Michigan
Lake and adjacent to the city's famous Magnificent
Mile. 415 rooms including 33 luxurious suites.
Non-smoking floors. Restaurant, bar and
24 hour room service. Spacious ballroom
and 10 meeting rooms for up to 330 people.
Business center. Fitness center.
Quiet
and restful compared to the drama of
the lobby, rooms are appointed with
custom-designed light wood furnishings,
milky colored down comforters and marble
bathrooms. A welcome tray contains
French chocolates and specially designed
bottles of Evian, and orchids decorate
every room. Deluxe suites have sitting
rooms with velvety couches.
Architectural
critics have lauded the elegant geometry
of this building.
The interior is equally impressive.
From the "bonjour" you hear
upon entering to the reception desk's
red velvet backdrop to the exotic flowers
that fill myriad vases, you'll know
every detail was carefully planned.
The sleek, sexy lobby invites lounging
with comfy couches, warm colors, sensual
music and oversized candles. High-strung
business travelers should find it easy
to unwind with a martini in the L.A.-chic
bar off the lobby. Take note of the
chameleon floor lights and twinkling
staircase. References to Chicago and
France appear in artwork.
