The Bar/Lounge at Fairmont Chicago Millennium Park

"Add a bar, a spa, and stunning design by David Rockwell, and you've got one of Chicago's most luxurious hotels in this price range"

"Take a funhouse-like photo of the skyline in front of the Bean, walk north on Michigan Avenue over the river for Magnificent Mile shopping, or hoof it to the John Hancock Center to see the city from up high (skip the organized tour and opt for a cocktail in the 956h-floor Signature Lounge)"

"At the end of the evening, settle down in the lobby's wine, chocolate and cheese lounge, the Eno Wine Room, for a nightcap"

"Club-level accommodations (Fairmont Gold) on the 15th floor provide free Wi-Fi, more elaborate workspace and a private lounge"

"House dining includes contemporary small plates (along with a select wine list and craft cocktails) at THE BAR, Midwest gastropub fare at Columbus Tap and an American breakfast buffet at the Millennium Room"
