Virgin Hotels Chicago Chicago, IL
A hip hotel housed in a historic Windy City landmark, Virgin Hotels Chicago has flash and style in spades, and backs it up with superb onsite amenities. Chambers, or rooms, are designed to fit your needs, with a privacy partition to create distinct living, dressing and sleeping areas. Each room features a bright red SMEG mini fridge stocked with street-priced snacks and drinks, Italian-designed work desks that swivel, and Virgin Hotels’ patented ultra-plush beds. A prime location in Chicago’s downtown Loop offers plenty to explore just steps from the front door, but with some of the city’s hottest spots right inside, you may never need to leave. The hotel boasts stunning views of Chicago's skyline (yes, even from the 25th-floor gym) but the best place to take it in is at Cerise, the buzzy rooftop bar. Grab dinner at Miss Ricky’s, a casual dining spot serving classic American comfort food, before heading back up to Cerise for DJ sets and dancing. Had a late night out? Order room service from Miss Ricky’s, or enjoy a slow morning with coffee and breakfast at Two Zero Three, the hotel’s newsstand-inspired café on the ground floor.
