The 18 Best Luxury and Boutique Hotels in Chicago to Book - AFAR

"A vibrant Hyde Park boutique that celebrates Chicago talent and local culture, occupying a prime spot on 53rd Street with interiors that mix glass-and-brick architecture with playful design elements and artworks by hometown figures. The 98 rooms feature hardwood floors, in-room Crosley turntables with curated vinyl from Chicago artists, and local literature; Mesler restaurant is a convivial ground-floor hangout for live music and people-watching, and menu items such as the 5th Ward Burger reflect neighborhood flavors tied to the University of Chicago crowd and nearby cultural institutions." - Heidi Mitchell
