"Walking into one of the all-business guest rooms might just remind you of a man’s suit... the contemporary decor is accented by Robert Mapplethorpe’s floral photos."

"When it opens in summer 2013, this property --- formerly The Sutton Place Hotel --- will blend in perfectly with its luxe surroundings in Chicago's affluent Gold Coast neighborhood."

"As I write this, The Thompson is the “it” place in Chicago, thanks to its quirky cool design, plus the popular onsite restaurant, Nico Osteria."

"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.

"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."
