Fodor's Expert Review Conrad Chicago

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

This hotel's art deco–inspired lobby avoids feeling like a period piece through its clean-line furniture and creative floral arrangements, and the rooms here—featuring European duvets, oversize pillows, plush bathrobes, and slippers—aim to pamper. The rooftop Terrace Restaurant and Bar also impresses, with stellar views and free Sunday night movies in good weather. The building's limestone facade was cut from the same quarries as the Empire State Building and Tribune Tower.
