Bring a swimsuit.
The pool and spa
A 44-foot waterfall-edge pool sits beneath a domed skylight, beside suites offering Augustinus Bader and Omorovicza treatments.
Dogs stay too.
How it began
Opened in 1989, the hotel occupies the upper tiers of the Kohn Pedersen Fox skyscraper rising directly over the Magnificent Mile.
“the hotel recently underwent an award-winning reimagining by women-owned Rottet Studios, and art remains a central aspect of that aesthetic”
