From the editors of Condé Nast Traveler:
Its location in the Loop, a block from the Board of Trade, screams "business hotel," but this 610-room Marriott defies that categorization. The 1914-vintage former bank, designed by the great Daniel Burnham, emerged from a $400 million investment as thoroughly class-act. The soft-touch service begins in the grand lobby, where greeters escort guests through check-in. Guest rooms combine warm hues and rich textures (stitched-leather headboards, burgundy throws) with welcome functionality such as well-placed reading lights and a multitasking television. Baths are spacious for walk-in showers. The hotel's bonus features include a 20,000-square-foot spa, Valeo, which takes a results-oriented approach to treatments, from simultaneous body and beauty services to muscular realignment with a structural massage therapist. The pool is part of a sprawling fitness center that also has cardio studios and high-tech stationary bikes synched to rides on video screens. Work up your appetite for carbo-loading dishes such as duck-egg carbonara, in chef Todd Stein upscale at Florentine restaurant. 2011 Hot ListWhich room to book: Southeast corner suites overlook the landmark Rookery building (contact therookerybuilding.com well in advance to get permission to visit the Frank Lloyd Wright interior) and the Chicago Board of Trade.
