The Pool at Waldorf Astoria Chicago

"There’s a fancy gym with a lap pool, a high-rolling bar and a couple of spiffy restaurants"

"Elsewhere in the hotel, you’ll find the Spa & Health Club, featuring traditional spa services (such as facials and massages), a men’s atelier and a mosiac-tiled, saline-water-filled lap pool"

" A mosaic-tiled lap pool can be enjoyed at the health club, while Waldorf Astoria Spa customizes treatments based on a client's age, skin type and even body type"

"This “grand” Gold Coast outpost is the “ultimate in luxury” and gets “10 stars” from fans for its “subtle style”, “exceptional service” and “impeccable attention to details” where “amazing” suites have “high-end amenities” like fireplaces and marble bathrooms with soaking tubs -- some even have outdoor terraces; an “amazing” pool and spa, “great” health club with Pilates classes and “excellent” on-site restaurant add up to “a nice splurge” -- “it’s a Waldorf, what more do you need to say?” Zagat reviews are compiled from individual user reviews"

"Be sure to also visit the lavish spa, a getaway itself with Greek columns and a mosaic pool covered in thousands of tiles"

"One warning, though: Although there’s a pool on site, it’s more of a lap pool and less of a kid-friendly play area"

"YOU SHOULD KNOW Families should check for designated kid-friendly times to make sure the pool isn't being used for laps"

"Also complimentary are the whirlpools, sauna, steam rooms and fitness room, the latter of which is a bit crowded with the usual cardio and weight machines, along with some Pilates equipment"
