"Hidden in plain sight, the Talbott is discretion embodied, just steps off Michigan Avenue's bustling Magnificent Mile. Rooms are unfussy but inviting, and the intimate lobby lounge makes for a great escape from the crowds. Notable luxuries include plush bathrobes and amenities by C.O. Bigelow. The intimate lobby lounge is a great place for that first cocktail of the evening. Its restaurant Talbott Cucina is open all day long, with a crowd-pleasing American-meets-Mediterranean menu and specialty cocktails—best savored on the popular curbside patio." - Elaine Glusac, Nicole Schnitzler
