• • Condé Nast Traveler Gold List: "The top hotel in the United States is in the heart of the Magnificent Mile and has 'sincere and extremely attentive staff.' Decor is 'contemporary yet classical,' from the 'unabashedly grand lobby,' with its high ceilings and marble floors, to the rooms in muted beige, tan, rust, and gold tones."

• • Travel + Leisure 500 Winner: "Prime shopping location, and two of Chicago's best restaurants."

• • Frommer's Exceptional Rating: "The marble-filled bathrooms have separate shower stalls and tubs, vanities with plenty of room to sit, and another 'command station' by the bathtub. Add in the flatscreen TVs and you have a classic hotel that's very much attuned to the present."

• • Fodor's Choice: "Look for high-tech bells and whistles like the 'beside panel', featuring buttons to control just about anything in the room..."

• • Condé Nast Traveler Gold List: "Part of a high-rise, this hotel is 'well situated' - across from the John Hancock Center. 'The grand lobby is stunning,' with floral arrangements, chandeliers, and Italian marble."

• • Travel + Leisure 500 Winner: "A new look for the rooms, thanks to a nearly completed $30 million makeover."

• • Frommer's Exceptional Rating: "Consistently voted one of the top hotels in the world by frequent travelers, the Four Seasons offers an understated luxury that appeals to publicity-shy Hollywood stars and wealthy families."

• • Fodor's Choice: "The rooms look English manor-like, with Italian marble, handcrafted woodwork, and botanical prints."

• • Condé Nast Traveler Gold List: "Enter the lobby of this modern hotel in the Park Tower and 'it's so quiet and elegant that it's hard to believe you're in a big city.' Sleek rooms with black granite and warm cherry have custom-designed Turkish furniture, Eames chairs, and Rivolta Carmignani linens."

• • Frommer's Exceptional Rating: "The comfortable beds are well appointed with several plush pillows. While some hotels might provide a TV and VCR, this is the kind of place where you get a DVD player and flatscreen TV. The bathrooms are especially wonderful: Slide back the cherrywood wall for views of the city while you soak in the tub."

• • Fodor's Choice: "Thanks to unique partnerships with the Art Institute, this hotel is full of blue-chip art -- and even boasts its own gallery."

• • Condé Nast Traveler Gold List: "Parisian architect Jean-Paul Viguier designed the unique, Swiss cheese-like structure that houses the Sofitel. Just two blocks off the Magnificent Mile, this Gold Coast sophisticate hosts business travelers and Euro movers and shakers with its seductive lobby and 415 spacious rooms."

• • Frommer's Very Highly Recommended: "A fairly recent addition to Chicago's already-crowded luxury-hotel scene, the Sofitel aims to impress by drawing on the city's tradition of great architecture."

• • Fodor's Choice: "A wonder of modern architecture, this French-owned gem is a prism-shaped structure that juts over the street and narrows as it rises."

• • Frommer's Highly Recommended: "The bright, beachy decor makes the place feel more like a tropical resort than an urban hotel; the small lobby has oversize Adirondack chairs..."

• • Lonely Planet Selection: "Staying at the Indigo is like staying in the guest room of your newly moneyed, Ikea-loving yuppie friend's flat: it's tasteful, but has a creative flair, and exudes a snugness that makes you feel fully able to make yourself at home."
