“I appreciate the hotel's dedication to Chicago's art scene, evident in its décor and the urban oasis theme. Its central location in River North is a true advantage, placing guests within easy reach of downtown and major attractions. The heated indoor pool and rooftop sundeck strike me as particularly appealing, as do the spa suites, which promise relaxation with their jetted tubs and city views.”
