Chicago, IL 60611
Chain: Courtyard by Marriott
The Courtyard by Marriot Chicago Magnificent Mile is a great hotel in a great location for both business and pleasure. The accomodations are swankier than what one would normally expect from the Marriott chain, with granite countertops, and premium linens. Many of the rooms are on the corner of the 26 storey building, offering views of Michigan Ave. and the lake at the same time.
The hotel is steps away from Michigan Avenue shopping and sightseeing, and about a five minute walk from the Chicago Loop, Wacker Drive, NBC Tower, Navy Pier and many corporate offices. The hotel restaurant, Viand, is trendy and feels more like an cool bar than a hotel restaurant.
The inside of the hotel has a modern Art Deco style, with clean lines and bright colors.
