Kurzfassung: It's a vertical palace for people who want to be near the action but sleep 40 stories above the noise.
Bewertet von @Alec Epstein188517: I stayed in this suite and the views were absolutely insane. Waking up with Lake Michigan and the skyline right there made me never want to leave the room. It felt huge, like a real apartment.

Zimmerwunsch-Genie – kopieren & einfügen
“I would appreciate a room on a floor higher than 40 for the best views. If available, a corner unit away from the elevators would be ideal. We are celebrating a special occasion and would love to try the in-room ice cream cart if it's running.”

5 Dinge, die Sie wissen sollten, bevor Sie losfahren
💡The wind can be loud. Being this high up means you might hear the building 'sing' or creak during a Chicago gale.
💡The elevators are incredibly fast, but your ears might pop on the way down from the 46th floor.
💡The 'City View' rooms actually offer a stunning urban canyon view at night that some prefer over the pitch-black lake view.
💡Room service breakfast is excellent but pricey—Aster Hall downstairs has great coffee and food for a fraction of the cost.
💡The pool area has a skylight that makes it feel much airier than most dungeon-like hotel indoor pools.
