"Housed in a Mies van der Rohe–designed skyscraper, this minimalist-yet-opulent property offers floor-to-ceiling glass rooms with commanding Chicago views, a silver-pebble–hung second-floor lobby, and a David Rockwell–designed Travelle restaurant known for lively afternoon teas and music-driven dining. Wellness is a focus at the Chuan Spa with Eastern therapies like acupuncture and cupping, and guests enjoy a 67-foot indoor pool and a top-tier concierge that can arrange bespoke city experiences; the Wacker Street lobby also features Jaume Plensa’s “Anna” sculpture as a memorable photo moment." - Heidi Mitchell
