#HOTELS CHICAGO UPGRADE#

Maybe the most important topic of all: Wi-Fi. The wash basin is separate from a makeup vanity on the opposite side of the room, with an oversized illuminated makeup mirror mounted on the wall. The white-tiled walk-in shower has a few red tiles for accents. The bathroom is part of an entire dressing chamber. Please tell us the bathroom won’t let us down. My room, and other pet-friendly rooms, had a porcelain dog stationed in the hallway at the front door. So many small and charming surprises: a wool-upholstered wall with pockets for things like the TV remote, the cherry-red Smeg fridge, Stelle Bluetooth speaker, yoga mat, and mini-bar selections that, thankfully, don't come with exorbitant price tags. How about the little things, like mini bar, or shower goodies.

They got us?ĭowny bed with cream leather headboard and footboard that seems to hug the mattress, and makes it ideal to work from. We’re craving some deep, restorative sleep. Sliding doors lead to the innermost room, the bedroom, adding feng-shui-inspired tranquility.

Even the entry-level 'chambers' open onto an enlarged foyer flanked by the bathroom on one side, and vanity and armoire on the other.

You don't have to upgrade to get a great room here.

Plus, the centerpiece of the hotel is a giant bar that hogs the lobby and lets you know where the fun starts. Lots of cheeky accents, starting with the cherry red color scheme, in a rather stately old bank building makes for fun friction. The whole place is an invitation to misbehave.
