Fodor's Expert Review Waldorf Astoria Chicago

Just steps from the Mag Mile, the Waldorf Astoria Chicago is a haven of exclusivity, located near the some of the city's best shops, dining, and nightlife. The elegant cobblestone roundabout outside the hotel leads guests into a lobby where a crystal chandelier patterned after a Coco Chanel brooch hangs high above, and the Parisian them extends to the patisserie in the lobby and a brasserie that features French cuisine with Midwestern ingredients. Guest rooms feature fireplaces, wet bars, oversized bathrooms with soaking tubs, and suites with outdoor terraces. There's also a fitness center, pool, and spa, and complementary bedside books by a program called "Bedside Reading."
