Set directly above the historic Water Tower at the top of the Magnificent Mile, Park Hyatt Chicago has long been the quieter, more design-conscious alternative to the Mag Mile's busier luxury properties. The lobby features floor-to-ceiling windows, 38-foot columns, and a 12-foot live floral installation; guest rooms are outfitted with Centium Satin linens and premium bath amenities throughout. The Paramount Suite offers corner views of State Street and the Chicago Theater. Ranked #36 among all US hotels by US News 2026 — the second-highest-ranked Chicago hotel in the country after the Langham.
Why We Chose It
A 198-room Park Hyatt in an Art Deco tower near the historic Water Tower. NoMI restaurant and lounge offers panoramic lake and skyline views with a seasonal terrace. A curated contemporary art collection throughout the public spaces and a location that balances Michigan Avenue access with residential quiet.
