Chicago
Urban luxury with a Chicago personality — contemporary art, live music at Adorn, Rottet Studio interiors, and a surprisingly family-friendly operation beneath all the polish.
Book a Lake-View Room rather than City-View if you can swing it — those east-facing windows looking straight at Lake Michigan are the hotel's biggest selling point
Why It Matters
One of Chicago's definitive luxury addresses. Perched above the Magnificent Mile with Lake Michigan views, a Rottet Studio renovation, and Adorn Restaurant earning a Michelin Guide mention. The hotel also sits directly atop 900 shops at 900 North Michigan, so you can walk downstairs to Gucci, Kate Spade, and lululemon without leaving the building.
The Four Seasons Chicago occupies floors 30 to 46 of a limestone-and-glass skyscraper right on the Magnificent Mile, which means every single one of its 345 rooms has a view — either Lake Michigan to the east or the Chicago skyline. Rottet Studio handled a full renovation that took it from classic-formal to something warmer and more residential, with art throughout and a genuine sense of place. The lobby is up on the 7th floor, which might disorient you on arrival, but the tradeoff is that you step out to Adorn Restaurant, cocktails, and sweeping views of North Michigan Avenue below.
