Only in the eyes of New Yorkers is Chicago this country's Second City. For in the Windy City, visitors will find culture and chaos, sports and skyscrapers, dramatic architecture and a diverse population. Incorporated in 1837, the Town of Chicago drew its name from a Native-American word meaning "great." Thirty years later, 90,000 residents were left homeless in the Great Chicago Fire, which killed 300 people and left a devastating $200 million in damage. A grave disaster, the fire nonetheless provided the city an opportunity to rebuild and grow; by the time it hosted the 1893 World's Fair, it was home to the famous "El" train that still encircles the heart of downtown Chicago. Nearly three million people call Chicago home, a mid-Western mixture of cultures and races. The city's motto, "I will," is an articulation of its hopes and dreams as the city continues to grow in importance. And true to its name, it is a great city, with world-champion teams like the Chicago Bulls and well-beloved teams like the Chicago Cubs. Chicago sports fans are known around the globe for undying devotion in the bitter winter to their Bears, and through the long summers in the bleachers at Wrigley and Comiskey parks. More... |

Chicago intends to pamper and seduce guests with a sense of escape to faraway places while enveloping

Emil Jacques Ruhlmann, a French furniture and theatrical designer, for her inspiration. Her
alluring design aesthetic is infused throughout the hotel beginning with the visually stunning
grand living room with its painted woodwork in "string of pearl" detail, plush furnishings of
damask and velvet, and a jeweled-tone color palate of light gold, cream, coral red, copper and
rich chocolate brown. Evoking a playful sense of travel, the registration desk is modeled after
a classic steamer trunk, and a cast limestone fireplace serves as a centerpiece of the lobby.
