Chicago City Center Chicago - Dark velvet drapes
are drawn back for a dramatic entrance into the clubby lobby—called
the Living Room—where music plays all day. Two-story, vaulted
ceilings gilded with gold cherubs, and floors inlaid with
mosaic tiles mark this space, where the drapes are often closed
in the evenings when the music heats up. Young professionals
and couples looking for a classy place to stay with a bit
of nightlife can be found here.Wireless Internet access is
available (for a fee) in the lobby, with its velvety couches
and chairs in shades of copper, gray, and black. The guestrooms
feature high-speed Internet access (also for a fee). The fitness
room has state-of-the-art cardio machines, including recumbent
exercise bicycles, elliptical machines, and treadmills equipped
with headphone hook-ups for the TV. Fresh fruit, bottled water,
and towels are complimentary.Potbelly’s Sandwich Works, one
of Chicago’s favorite sandwich stops, is 2 blocks south of
the hotel. Toasted sandwiches are cheap and quick, and the
homemade chocolate chip cookies and fresh-made milkshakes
are also popular.
