What's nearby

  • Have been driving across the country for over a week now and managed to rest up a bit and visit downtown Chicago. Spent the day looking for this iconic piece and finally found it. The Chicago Theatre was built in 1921 and was originally named the Balaban and Katz Chicago Theatre. This building has become the unofficial landmark for Chicago representing the rich arts and music culture Chicago is known for. In 1979 the building was added to the list of historic buildings, and later in 1983 was added as an official landmark for the City of Chicago.

Nice location, interesting architecture. But the place seemed a bit tired to us and in need of a refresh. Room was tiny, not well equipped (ex. Teapot but no coffee maker). We would not stay there again.

A flawless grand king room having three contiguous but separate and spacious rooms: a living room, large bathroom and bedroom. Each easily closed off from the other by a sliding door. Amenities in the room were unique and practical for a guest or traveled. The shower is large with bench seat, central shower ahead and detachable head. Premium scented cleansing accessories and two separate vanities finished off the space. L The restaurant on the entrance level prepared all foods from scratch with that wonderful southern European food wafting throughout. Virgin Chicago continues to impress and makes me feel welcomed and at home.
