An Insider's Take
'Luxury meets legendary at this Water Tower Place icon, where Chicago's skyline becomes your personal backdrop and Michelin-starred dining awaits just steps from Michigan Avenue's shopping paradise.' What's Special? This 12th-floor oasis sits atop the prestigious Water Tower Place, offering unparalleled views of Lake Michigan and the city's architectural marvels. The hotel houses Alinea, Grant Achatz's three-Michelin-starred molecular gastronomy temple, consistently ranked among the world's best restaurants. The Club Level provides exclusive access to a lounge overlooking the historic Water Tower, a survivor of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book a lake-view suite during winter to witness the dramatic frozen shoreline, then warm up at the spa's vitality pool while gazing out at the icy beauty of Lake Michigan.
Don't Miss The rooftop fitness center offers 360-degree city views while you work out. Take the direct mall access to explore Water Tower Place's seven floors of shopping, then step outside to discover the historic Chicago Water Tower, one of only a few structures to survive the 1871 fire. The nearby Oak Street Beach provides an unexpected urban oasis just minutes from your luxury suite.
