"This 790-room behemoth right on the Magnificent Mile mixes historic charm... with the lackluster contemporary decor of an upscale chain."

"The result is an opulent wonderland of terracotta fountains, hand-painted murals, marble mosaics and a 12,000-pound Baccarat crystal chandelier."

"Built by the Shriners as the Medinah Athletic Club, this place is a tourist attraction all its own, with sightseers occasionally rubbernecking through the public areas on self-guided audio tours. "

The location here on the Magnificent Mile is hard to beat, but be sure to request a corner Michigan Avenue-facing room in the Historic tower.

"Acting as the right aorta in the shopping heart of Chicago, it's the only downtown hotel with a front entrance to the Magnificent Mile."

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."
