“With contemporary art woven throughout the building, it's a surprisingly cultured experience near the bustle of the Magnificent Mile. The on-site restaurant, Lure Fishbar, is worth the visit alone for its seafood, and the location is ideal for exploring via the nearby Red Line. I especially appreciate details like the nightly turndown service, a touch that elevates a city stay.”
