The Bar/Lounge at Hotel Chicago Downtown, Autograph Collection

"Fluff up your best feather boa and head for the bar – the crystal-drenched chandeliers and deep-tufted red velvet sofas would make any high-class madam feel right at home"

" With black-and-white stylish designs, rooms and suites have minibars, coffeemakers, and floor-to-ceiling windows that offer river views in some"

"More than anything, the location offers couldn’t-be-easier access to the many restaurants of River North, including the Italian Siena Tavern from "Top Chef" hunk Fabio Viviani, old-school surf-and-turf Bavette’s Bar & Boeuf and the hidden tiki bar Three Dots and a Dash (look for it in the alley)"

"You’ll also find a state-of-the-art workout room, business center, meeting facilities and a lobby bar serving meals throughout the day"

"There is a 10-pin bowling alley for a little retro fun and a sixth-floor lounge powered by Microsoft, but the Crimson Lounge is the jewel in the crown"
