Top 10 Luxury Hotels in Chicago
Chicago is the third largest city in the US and its size allows it to offer a range of attractions. Visitors browse exhibits at the museums and galleries, savor the famous deep-dish pizzas, and meander through the parks and zoos. Chicago is all about fun, food and entertainment.
You can enjoy all these activities and then go back to a luxury hotel room for well-earned relaxation. Here are our top 10 luxury hotels in Chicago, in no particular order:
Architect Jean-Paul Viguier designed the Sofitel Chicago Water Tower. This bright white wedge of a building thrusts dramatically into Chicago’s skyline. The luxe interiors and attentive staff are exactly what you’d expect from a luxury hotel in a big city.
The James Chicago aims to be one better than the rest: richer and more stylish. Designer furnishings enhance the opulent rooms. It has everything from a fitness centre and spa to the trendy J Bar.
The new Dana Hotel and Spa is a modern vision of glass and sleek metal. The light airy minimalist rooms have state-of-the-art technology and unbelievable views. There is a fitness centre, full-service spa and the ever-popular Vertigo open-air rooftop lounge.

Offering a welcome departure from the predictable mahogany and marble, the Hotel Sax Chicago – now the Hotel Chicago Downtown, has sleek lines and a soft color palette. The hotel is ideally situated on the Marina City complex on the Chicago River.
The PUBLIC Chicago may be a designer boutique hotel, but the emphasis is on inclusivity rather than velvet rope exclusivity. The hotel is a stylish blend of classic and contemporary with excellent service and creature comforts.
