Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile - A 32-story glass prism with French design, lake views, and Magnificent Mile dining
Located in Chicago's affluent Gold Coast district, Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile occupies a striking 32-floor glass prism designed by French architect Jean-Paul Viguier. This 5-star Chicago hotel features 415 rooms with luxury feathertop duvet bedding, marble bathrooms, and 24-hour room service.

“From what I gather, this hotel distinguishes itself with a dedication to French-inspired elegance, not just in décor but in its approach to service. Its location places guests steps away from the Magnificent Mile, but I also note the hotel emphasizes engagement with local arts and culture, which I think adds depth to the experience. For travelers seeking a blend of luxury and authentic city exploration, it seems a very fitting choice.”
