“The hotel distinguishes itself with a uniquely French-inspired aesthetic, moments from the bustle of Michigan Avenue. Its commitment to sophisticated design extends from the Pierre-Yves Rochon-designed lobby to individually styled rooms, while incorporating local cultural experiences. In my opinion, its location and versatile meeting spaces make it a fitting choice for both leisure and business trips.”
