"The historic, 1,544-room Hilton Chicago once hosted presidents and dignitaries, but today it's just a massive chain hotel in South Loop, a little far from many popular tourist sites."

"Set inside an undulating, 82-story skyscraper designed by architect Jeanne Gang, this hotel takes Scandinavian design to rather sleek heights, even if it only occupies the first 18 floors."
