"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."

"At Illinois Center, next door to the larger, bustling Hyatt and across the river from the Sheraton, this Swiss treat is a standout when it comes to location and views from the amenity-rich guest rooms."
