We stayed here for New Years Eve and had the best time. Close proximity- walking distance to Mag mile, river walk and all the great restaurants. So convenient with the grocery store down stairs. And the best part was the views of the city and the lake! So gorgeous. Would absolutely stay again.

The View!

We loved our stay in Chicago! The grocery store near the entrance of the building had everything we needed. Also there were plenty of great restaurants nearby to eat at. The view was stunning during the day but breathtaking at night. Definitely worth every penny!

Magnificent

Incredible view from this amazing penthouse. We stayed here with family for a wedding and couldn't have been happier. This location was fabulous for our group and we walked everywhere. Restaurants, places to go, it was all right there. If you are staying there and it is going to be a hot day, just put the blinds down at night so the sun doesn't heat it up in the morning and you are good to go. Truly, everything was fabulous.
