What to expect:

The hotel’s colorful history adds to its allure: John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, the Rolling Stones, and Muhammad Ali have all graced the guest list. In the 1970s, the Knickerbocker was briefly incarnated as Hugh Hefner’s Playboy Towers—a gaudy disco-era party palace. Renovations have restored the hotel’s 1920s-era charm, such as the lobby’s Art Deco–detailed marble floor and a paneled ceiling with inlaid brass medallions and chandeliers.
Amenity highlights: The Apple Martini is one of 40 different martinis served in the lobby bar, which also features live piano jazz nightly. Hotel conveniences include a fitness center, 24-hour room service, valet parking, and express check-in/check-out. The John Hancock Building is only 1.5 blocks away, and Lake Michigan within a 3-block walk.
Insider tip: Prohibition-era gangster Al Capone and his cronies used to gamble in a room on the 14th floor. The hotel bellstaff will gladly show guests the door to the secret stairs Capone and his gang used to make their getaways when police raided the illicit gatherings.

NiX - Inventive American cuisine with Asian accents is served at this bistro with minimalist red, black, and white decor. Menu items include Thai Glazed Salmon and Roast Duck with Cherry Pirogi. A coffee bar serves beverages and pastries in the morning.
Martini Bar - Guests can choose from 40 different martinis and hear live piano jazz nightly at this granite-topped lobby lounge. Beer, wine, and cocktails are served as well.
