Ask for a high-floor room to avoid noise from the El train along Wabash Avenue.
Time Out "The late 19th-century Arts and Crafts style is evident outside and in, with wrought-iron pieces adding accents to the comfortable (if slightly dated) decorations in each room." Full review
Gayot "This beauty sits right on Jeweler's Row, two blocks from the Art Institute of Chicago and one block from shopping on State Street."

In the morning, AC Kitchen serves up a European-style breakfast buffet stocked with pastries, artisan cured meats and cheeses; and at the end of the day, the AC Lounge is the place to relax over craft cocktails and light bites (make sure to check out the Monopoly-inspired art installations).
