Chicago's most sophisticated five-star, the Peninsula is all understated, subtle luxury with muted colours, light-filled rooms, a first-class spa, contemporary but classical decor and a standard of service that's second to none. With 339 rooms and suites, four different restaurants and a funky bar, guests could happily never leave the building.
The location. Apart from all the attractions of the hotel, location is just spoton, with the hotel situated about 30 steps off North Michigan Avenue, the main artery of the city. Step out of the hotel door and you are beside the Magnificent Mile (shopping heaven), the John Hancock Centre (spectacular 94th floor views) is across the road and Lake Michigan itself glistens at the end of the adjoining street.
