Absolutely fabulous location and a stately, grand hotel!! Many great restaurants (Himalayan restaurant and NIU B) within easy walking distance as well as the Shedd, the Field Museum and the Adler Planetarium. The building is solid and you do not hear your neighbors. There was plenty of space for us in the room and we even had a partial Lakeview. We will be coming back and will likely upgrade to a lakeview King room since it’s only a few dollars more.
