Located on a leafy street in Downtown Chicago and overlooking the Gold Coast of Lake Michigan,  this property is part of a fashionable and innovative boutique Thompson Hyatt portfolio.  Here, the emphasis is on integration into the local neighbourhood community. With echoes of loft-conversion industrial chic, British designer Tara Bernerd has created a hotel that gives guests the comforts of modern day with a stylish industrial twist.  In all 247 elegant rooms and suites, king-sized beds with 400 thread count Sferra linens is standard. They also feature flat-screen televisions, individually controlled heating and air-conditioning, and digital check-in that brings modern technology to the fore. Wi-Fi is complimentary to all guests throughout the hotel. Bathrooms feature state-of-the-art rain showers and oversized Frette robes.

Dining options include Nico Osteria - an all-day dining location - with a lunch and evening menu of Italian seafood, house pastas, bruschetta, and desserts for casual dining with rustic flair.  Salone Nico is the “Downtown” wine bar and cocktail lounge with an impressive European wine list that focuses on smaller French and Italian producers and older vintages.  Afternoon cocktail and aperitifs are served here in a lively but relaxed atmosphere.  The Fitness centre is open 24-hours a day and features cardio, spin, and free-weight machines.
