A nice quite hotel with history
This is the famous hotel where Al Capone (played by Robert De Niro) smashed the head of one of his gang members with a baseball bat at a banquest in the movie "The Untouchables". Today you still have the picture of Al Capone in the hotel rooms that reminds you of the gang culture of Chicago. While the picture of Al Capone may not bring a peaceful mind to you, this hotel actually is located in a pretty nice and quite segment of south Michigan Avenue. Millienium Park is right across the street. The room is not big, but nice and clean. Staff is very friendly and helpful.
The only negative thing is the lack of food options. It only has one restaurant which closes pretty early at night. The Starbucks downstairs even close around 5 or 6 o'clock. So if you get hungry at night, room service is your only option unless you want to venture outside. Good thing is that around the corner is a Dunkin's where you can grab a quick bite.
If you have a car, don't park at the hotel which charges you $40-$50 dollars per night for valet parking. Just one block ahead, there is a parking garage that charges half the money.
