A Luxury Collection boutique property on the Magnificent Mile with a rooftop bar (Upstairs at The Gwen) that ranks among the most-cited in the city, and a Tipsy Tea service that's become a local afternoon institution. Guest rooms lean toward warm, residential design over corporate polish; the property occupies a 1920s limestone building with original architectural details intact. Ranked #10 in Best Hotels in Chicago by US News. The most boutique-feeling option on the Mag Mile stretch, with a local following that reinforces the atmosphere.
Why We Chose It
An Art Deco hotel in the 1929 McGraw-Hill Building on the Magnificent Mile. The rooftop terrace offers skyline views, and the Terrace Suite category provides some of Chicago’s most dramatic private outdoor spaces. A handsome building with strong design credentials at competitive Mag Mile pricing.
