All About Hotels

160 East Pearson Street, at Water Tower Place, Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A,60611-2308 Tel: 1 (312) 266-1000 Fax: 1 (312) 266-1194 RATES & ROOMS: 395 - 4500 USD 435 Rooms & Suites Book Now EXPERIENCE: This is one of the nation's premier hotels with capacious new Premier Class Rooms and Suites. It sits pretty atop Water Tower Place and is as ritzy as the name implies. Silks cover the walls, the draperies are European, the marble is from Italy and Spain and the art is from around the world. Needless to say, luxury is evidenced all around. In this 435-room establishment, the just-redone 30th floor is about as luxe as one can get, with State Suites larger than most apartments - each even comes with its own baby grand. The Dining Room chef, Kevin Hickey, has won many prestigious awards for his cuisine. If you bring along the kids, they will receive a bag of gifts on arrival. Including complimentary videos, toys, cookies and milk in the evening, as well as an abundance of baby supplies, this nicety comes free of charge and exemplifies an attention to guests' needs. Even Fido gets his own gift, and there is room service for him, too. He can also be groomed at the on-premise kennel and walked, courtesy of the concierge department. Some might consider it a trifle excessive to offer caviar to cats, but a grand hotel must cater to every client's whims.
