Shoe Shine basket, Molton Brown Bath Amenities, complimentary Wireless
High Speed Internet, cordless phone, Laptop Safes, etc.

40% of our rooms have also now the 42" Plasma Screen TV's and BOSE
Surround Sound System. The remainder will be complete by year's end."

I was at the Conrad Chicago, July 22/23, I think it would be hard to "build" a long onto a Historical Landmark. In addition, the rooms as I reported in my tirp report do need some attention and they are taking them out of service in order to meet "conrad" standards. My first visit the Le Meridian brand of towels..linens etc was still in effect. The stay I noticed the "conrad" items in the room, although my suite didn't have the flat screen TVs...dang it!
