Are you kidding?!? Tell me, how many hotels have you stayed in where, as a guest, you can play basketball on a half-sized court; take a sauna and/or steam bath; grill your own lunch or dinner outdoors on the patio; or workout in a large, fully-equiped gym?
The rooms (note that there are two decors to choose from, and you can let the hotel know at check-in which you prefer), are in great shape since the hotel is still very new.
Finally, it's only a short walk to one of the most amazing public spaces in the country -- Millennium Park.
I stayed in a Business Class room, and thus also had access to the Lounge staffed by very friendly, helpful staff members.
My stay was exceedingly memorable. I can't wait to return again!
