Convenient hotel for architecture buffs
The Burnham firm designed this building at the end of the 19th Century. It has been beautifully restored to its present use and is on the National Historic Register. The staff has been especially courteous to us on our three visits. On the 7th floor the El noise was minor and has not bothered us at all. An advantage is a fine view of several late 19th or early 20th century facades across Wabash avenue including the oldest Adler and Sullivan building still standing in the Loop. The Orange Line El from Midway lets you off at the front door and a multitude of Chicago landmarks are within walking distance. .
