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