A Throwback that is worth the visit
This is our second trip to Chicago and our first at the Drake. What an experience, just entering the lobby is absolutely breathtaking, huge vase of flowers refreshed daily and amazing chandelier that harkens back to days gone by. The rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated and the staff goes above and beyond to meet your needs. Some hidden gems that The Drake offers are live music, we took in the Flatcats a swing band that got our toes tapping and feet a ‘flyin and Café Lavazza attached to the hotel and is a great breakfast place, with delicious coffee and an assortment of tasty breakfast options; yogurts, fresh fruits and scrumptious pastries. The Drake is also well situated a short jaunt to Oak beach and just steps from Rush street full of fabulous places to eat. Our favourite is Le Colonial French Vietnamese cuisine; ask for a seat on the balcony over-looking the street great view and fantastic meal with a special someone.
