The highly anticipated LondonHouse Chicago is a chic and ultra-lavish vertical resort primed to make a splash when it opens this spring in downtown Chicago. Named after the one of the country’s most renowned jazz clubs, the contemporary hotel synchronizes a new 22-story modernist glass tower with the 92yr old “London Guarantee & Accident Building” (on the site of Fort Dearborn), a national historic landmark on the famed Magnificent Mile. Conveniently situated on the riverfront and close to the city’s major attractions, retail hub and business district, it features amazing guest rooms with breath-taking views of the Chicago River and skyline. The property will also house several signature amenities, including keyless entries available through smartphones, which means travelers can now can now use smartphones to make a reservation, check in, choose the room, open the door, and go about their stay without ever having to interact with the front desk agent. Guests will also have access to the hotel's destination luxe spa, the lobby bar, in-room tablets with complimentary wifi, the fitness center, approximately 25,000 sq. ft. of truly enviable banquet space and Chicago’s only tri-level bar and rooftop terrace offering dramatic panoramic views.
Somewhat different from this concept is Deer Path Inn, a traditional English inn located in a quiet, picturesque town along Chicago’s North Shore. The historic inn was established in 1929 with an iconic Tudor-style architecture and for almost 9 decades, the 57-room property has welcomed guests with informal luxury using grand English traditions. The inn reopened in December after a 12-month renovation project to refresh its antiquated infrastructure, which included updating its elegant guest rooms and suites with modern conveniences and upgrading its amenities throughout the property. Signature amenities include a fine-dining restaurant with an indoor/outdoor space perfect for private events, an authentic English pub, a bar, a traditional garden courtyard, 8,500sq ft of event space and a fitness room. Situated approximately one hour from downtown Chicago, Deer Path Inn is dedicated to serving as a haven of relaxation and a retreat from nearby urban cities.
