Our Picks — Chicago
River North
Occupying the lower floors of Mies van der Rohe's iconic IBM Building above the Chicago River, The Langham is the finest hotel in the city by almost any measure — the Chuan Spa, Paul Kahan–informed dining, and rooms with soaring Miesian windows over the river are extraordinary. Service is consistently ranked among North America's best.
Magnificent Mile
A Grand Tier property on Michigan Avenue with rooms that are the largest on the Mag Mile, a rooftop pool with Chicago skyline reflections, and the beloved The Lobby afternoon tea. The Peninsula's detail-obsession — bedside control panels, motorised privacy screens, bathtubs you can fill from the bed — sets a standard few rivals match.
Magnificent Mile
Floors 30–46 of 900 North Michigan Avenue make this the highest perched luxury hotel in the city, with views stretching to Lake Michigan's horizon on clear days. The jewel-toned rooms are among Chicago's most beautifully appointed, and Allium Restaurant serves one of the best power lunches in the Loop.
River North
Richard Branson's take on the boutique hotel, set in a magnificent 1928 Mayan Revival skyscraper with rooms reimagined as 'Chambers' featuring a clever dressing room foyer, adjustable climate and lighting, and a fridge stocked at grocery-store prices. The Commons Club restaurant and bar is one of River North's most reliably enjoyable dining rooms.
Magnificent Mile
Named for Gwendolyn Brooks, Illinois's first Poet Laureate, this Art Deco hotel blends Chicago literary heritage with Marriott's Luxury Collection polish. The gold-leaf lobby ceiling and rooftop bar with Mag Mile views are defining features of this mid-range luxury sweet spot.
Fulton Market
The London boutique chain planted its flag in Chicago's hottest food neighbourhood — the former meatpacking Fulton Market District — with a thoughtfully restored industrial building, an excellent ground-floor brasserie, and rates that undercut comparable properties by 30%. Walking distance from the city's best restaurants including Smyth, Girl & the Goat, and Au Cheval.
