The hotel's striking design, unparalleled comfort and remarkable services create a dramatic sensory experience.

Guests can walk or take a short cab ride to the Ford Center Oriental Theatre, Cadillac Palace Theatre, Bank of America Theatre, Goodman Theatre, Chicago Theatre, the Art Institute - Modern Wing, Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium, The Civic Opera House and dozens of other legendary Chicago cultural and entertainment venues. The entire establishment has been built with the environment in mind, making it the Chicago's theatre district's best in employing the green practices and materials. This is a new, environmentally intelligent luxury hotel in Chicago, providing an understated, elegant environment with unexpected details and comforts, where clients are the star of the show. Guests are welcomed into the lobby of the air-conditioned premises by a 24-hour reception and check-out service, and here they may also make use of the currency exchange facilities, hotel safe, and cloakroom. Additional communal spaces include the auditorium, pub, bar and disco, and conference facilities are available for business travellers. A laundry service is also provided to keep guests looking their best. This smart downtown hotel combines business traveler essentials with a stimulating scene with live entertainment from the lobbys second story Phoenix Lounge. At check-in, stylish front desk staff dispense warm chocolate chip cookies along with insider advice on the night-life. Some of the more artful touches include the lobbys anime-inspired mural of a woman morphing into a phoenix (a reference to the Great Chicago Fire); chandeliers that appear held aloft by white angel wings and mirrored elevator walls and hallway carpets are tattooed in bold floral cutout patterns.

This hotel is located close to the iconic magnificent mile known as Michigan Avenue. Guests can take a short stroll and marvel at the city's premier museums, cultural landmarks, and entertainment, experiencing the allure and style of the Chicago Loop.

Guests can dine at one of the four restaurants, including a modern Italian eatery recently named Best New Restaurant, and enjoy a taste at a high-end cocktail lounge. All the way up the top is the Roof, the bar perched 27 floors above the Chicago skyline.
