The Langham, Chicago

A luxurious bath does a body good and indulging in a soak in one of The Langham's granite tubs, which are in front of large picture windows in some suites, is simply unforgettable. The Langham is one of the best hotels in Chicago exuding British elegance and modern sophistication tucked into a historic Mies van der Rohe building, the last designed by the renowned architect. Sidled up to the downtown riverfront, the building designed in the 1970s is sophisticated inside and out. The hotel's interior features appealing art and sculpture and rooms are done in neutral colors with tasteful furniture. Floor-to-ceiling windows welcome the jaw-dropping skyline and views of water traffic meandering down the Chicago River. Chuan Spa earns awards on the regular so consider a couple's treatment and be sure to book any of Club rooms or suites to get access to the unequalled Langham Club.
