The house
HiltonBeaux-Arts convention flagship
Built at monumental scale, this Beaux-Arts landmark operates as a grand civic gathering place where gilded ballrooms meet bustling convention halls.
What it’s good at
Notable
Nearly a century of hosting presidential banquets, society galas, and major civic gatherings.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set directly on South Michigan Avenue, the entrance opens to Grant Park, with lakefront trails and the Art Institute a stroll away.
The rooms
Many rooms look out over Grant Park and Lake Michigan, with practical double-bed layouts offering two full separate bathrooms.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The pool
The heated indoor lap pool sits beneath large windows and opens onto a seasonal outdoor sun deck.
The gym
An indoor 1/18th-mile jogging track circles the fitness floor, which is outfitted with Peloton bikes and resistance machines.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Kitty O'Sheas pours pints alongside classic Irish fare, and 720 South Bar and Grill serves Midwest dishes beside an indoor fireplace.
How it began
Opened in 1927 as the Stevens Hotel, it briefly stood as the world's largest, complete with a rooftop miniature golf course.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
