The 18 Best Luxury and Boutique Hotels in Chicago to Book - AFAR
"Housed in a repurposed 1920s art-deco bank, this social-minded property centers on the Commons Club, a second-floor communal hub with a lounge, dining room, and an oval zinc bar designed for work and socializing. Guest rooms are apartment-like and divided by sliding doors into sleeping and dressing/bath zones, with retro touches such as red Smeg mini-fridges stocked at street prices and seating made from repurposed Vespas. The hotel programming includes live DJs and rooftop events at Cerise, tech-forward room controls via a smartphone app, in-room artisanal Chicago coffee, and online itineraries curated by local creatives to help guests explore beyond the usual tourist routes." - Heidi Mitchell
