Historical Boutique Hotel Near Magnificent Mile
In the roaring 1920s, buildings sprouted up on Chicago's Michigan Avenue like steel weeds, clamoring for a spot in the city's burgeoning skyline. The quiet residential streets just behind the regal towers were suddenly hot real estate, and businessmen scrambled to build luxury apartments in the area. By the mid-1950s, one such apartment building was converted into the Whitehall Hotel, which rose to international acclaim and became a celebrity magnet, housing stars such as Katharine Hepburn, Richard Burton, Sophia Loren, and Robert Redford.
Today, the luxury boutique hotel still hearkens back to its Jazz Age inception with glitzy chandeliers, rich wood paneling, and tufted leather chairs shaped like saxophones. In the superior king and superior double queen rooms, Hypnos mattresses are draped with 300-thread-count Egyptian-cotton sheets and a down duvet covered in silk. Original artwork adorns the walls, and restored antique Whitehall mahogany furniture lends the room a nostalgic elegance. Bathrooms feature marble floors and granite countertops with hand-placed mosaic tiles.
The on-site Fornetto Mei (which means “beautiful little oven” in Italian) serves pan-Italian fusion fare inspired by both northern Italy and the Far East alongside an extensive wine list. The Whitehall Place Lounge has also been restored to its 1920s speakeasy grandeur, and barflies can sip on a libation where the Beatles once enjoyed a cocktail.
Gold Coast: Shopping, Arts, and Lakefront Recreation
Chicago’s Gold Coast neighborhood glimmers as a cultural hub on the shores of Lake Michigan, less than a mile north of the Loop and steps away from the Magnificent Mile’s renowned shopping. To ogle the City of Big Shoulders from the water, the Chicago Architecture Foundation ferries passengers down the Chicago River on 90-minute cruise tours as guides comment on the city’s celebrated architecture, from the Renaissance stylings of the Wrigley Building to the corncob-shaped Marina City towers.
The Museum of Contemporary Art hosts a rotating roster of exhibitions, such as the The Language of Less (Then and Now), a reinstallation of minimalist pieces from the '60s and '70s in conjunction with modern works by contemporary artists. On the first Friday of every month, the MCA hosts the aptly named "First Fridays" happy hour, when party-goers browse the museum while noshing on Wolfgang Puck hors d'oeuvres, listening to live entertainment, and meeting the like-minded art-curious.
The Oak Street Beach blankets the ground between Lake Michigan and the statuesque John Hancock Building, a fine spot to watch the weekly Saturday-night fireworks that light up the sky off of Navy Pier until the end of October. For a daytime diversion, 18 miles of paved lakefront path wend around the shores of Lake Michigan, teeming with bicyclists, joggers, costumed gangsters confusedly running from costumed British police officers, and rollerbladers.
