Gold Coast boutique meets 1920s charm

The Whitehall Hotel manages that rare combination of location and ambiance. The hotel is situated one block from the Magnificent Mile and Rush Street nightlife district, but tucked away from the tourist fray on a residential street. One of Chicago's oldest luxury hotels but certainly no slouch, the Whitehall brims with 19th century elegance -- imagine chandeliers, wood paneling and tufted leather chairs, all restored to match the original European grace and grandeur of this Gold Coast gem.

Highlights
  • One block from the Magnificent Mile and Rush Street nightlife
  • Walk to John Hancock Center, Water Tower Place, Lake Michigan and Oak Street Beach
  • Dining at Fornetto Mei, a Pan-Italian restaurant
  • Fitness center
Rooms

Chicago's independent boutique Whitehall Hotel, which has hosted guest celebrities like Katharine Hepburn, Richard Burton, Sophia Loren, Paul Newman, The Beatles and Mick Jagger over the years, provides intimate guest rooms and suites decorated with antique mahogany tables and nightstands, wood headboards, down duvets and marble bathrooms. High-speed Internet and wireless access are available in rooms (fees apply).

Features
Guests at The Whitehall Hotel won't have to worry about leaving their dog or cat at home. The hotel welcomes pets less than 20 pounds for a non-refundable deposit. For an upscale casual dining option, dine at Fornetto Mei, which traverses Asia and Italy with its menu of oven-fired, thin crust pizza and house-made pot stickers or sample dumplings at Mei's Corner. A cozy atrium bar welcomes guests and invites sampling of the restaurant's 200 plus global and California boutique wines.

The location is perfect, it's

The location is perfect, it's very close to John Hancock tower and Michigan Ave. shopping area. Subway Red line wasn't too far, didn't use taxi or anything. The service was pretty good as well. Next time I go to Chicago I would stay there again.

Most elegant hotel I've been to in years. Great hospitality - the beds are to die for. I wish I could rate it ten stars.

Excellent hotel

The hotel was a perfect surprise in Chicago. The hotel staff's hospitality was impressive. Greeted with a smile, the answered some of questions, such as, directions and places to eat. The room was clean and fresh. I was able to get two nights of good rest. I truly enjoyed my time there.

So Comfortable!

Being on business trip, you get really tired by the end of the day. Being able to sleep well is really important to feel ready for the next day. THe Whitehall's service was great and the bed was amzingly comfortable.
