    What to expect: The lobby has a Mediterranean feel with white stucco and tan walls; tile floors in pastel green; arches over the elevator doors and staircase entrance; and aquatic-themed paintings. A wall of windows with green blinds and oak shutters lets in natural light. Guests in jeans carry cameras and guidebooks on their way out, while business guests sit in the earth-tone couches and chairs to talk on cell phones.
  • Amenity highlights: Every guestroom floor has both soda and snack vending machines. The sixth floor offers a hot beverage machine that dispenses inexpensive cappuccino, coffee, espresso, and hot chocolate at any time. In the mornings, the lobby is set up with a complimentary coffee and tea bar, and complimentary newspapers are also available.
  • Insider Tip: Directly across the street from the hotel is Grant Park, where rows of vividly colored flowers are visible from early spring through summer’s end. Museum Campus is a short walk through Grant Park, less than 1 half-mile away. The Campus includes the Shedd Aquarium, Adler Planetarium, and Field Museum. Chicago CityPass—good for nine days of admission to all these museums and other city attractions—are available at any of the Museum Campus attractions.
