2024 Readers’ Choice Awards: The Top Hotels in Chicago

"Set in the Gold Coast Historical District, the contemporary-chic Viceroy has a retro Chicago façade and mid-century furnishings within. Textures and patterns grab the eye, including an abstract headboard wall, a carpet that looks like a sand-hued topographic map, and—yes—quotes from Marcel Proust, reproduced on the lobby's 30-foot wall. You'll love the Southwestern–style throw pillows and the teal curtains, which inspire tranquility at night, while the Nespresso machine serves a valued purpose in the morning. Don’t skip their onsite restaurant, Somerset, which serves seasonal American fare and classic cocktails like the Gold Rush and State (aptly named for the hotel’s location) with bourbon, Amaro Montenegro, and honey." - CNT Editors
