"In historic Printer's Row in the Morton Salt building, over the last few years this moderately priced boutique-hotel has taken on the silhouette of a youngster in a bounce house."

The best rooms face the street from floors five and up; request a Superior room with bay window facing the front of the hotel.

"The Silversmith is a hidden gem that eschews the usual chain-hotel conformity for a Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired look."

You'll want to avoid the lower-level floors if you like things quiet.

"This 143-room gem in the southern part of the Loop was one of many jewels in the crown of Chicago architect D.H. Burnham."

Ask for a high-floor room to avoid noise from the El train along Wabash Avenue.
Lonely Planet
"Although the exterior was designed by Daniel Burnham’s firm, the hotel’s interior recalls Frank Lloyd Wright: the chunky wood furniture has a distinct Prairie School charm."

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."

"This beauty sits right on Jeweler's Row, two blocks from the Art Institute of Chicago and one block from shopping on State Street."
