caption_attribution_description: English: This is a photograph of Oak Street Beach in Chicago, IL on a cold night in January. The road in this picture is Lake Shore Drive. The bright, art deco building with the lit beacon is the Palmolive Building. The short building in front of the Palmolive Building is the Drake Hotel. The tall, black building behind the Palmolive Building is the John Hancock Center. The rectangular building behind and to the left of the John Hancock Center is the Water Tower Place. The tall building just right of center, with its roof lit up in red and green, is the 900 North Michigan building.
context_page_description: The Drake, a Hilton Hotel, 140 East Walton Place, Chicago, Illinois, is a luxury, full-service hotel, located downtown on the lake side of Michigan Avenue two blocks north of the John Hancock Center and a block south of Oak Street Beach at the top of the Magnificent Mile. Overlooking Lake Michigan, it was founded in 1920, designed in the Italian Renaissance style by the firm of Marshall and Fox, and soon became one of Chicago's landmark hotels, a longtime rival of the Palmer House. It has 535 bedrooms, a six-room Presidential Suite, several restaurants, two large ballrooms, the "Palm Court", and Club International. It is known for the contribution that its silhouette and sign on the lake façade make to the Gold Coast skyline.
