Description:
The Sofitel Chicago Water Tower is located in Chicago’s Gold Coast neighborhood, just two blocks from Rush Street nightclubs and Oak Street shopping. The Magnificent Mile and John Hancock Center are only three blocks away. This angular, wedge-shaped hotel, designed by an award-winning French architect, is a visually stunning building, inside and out. Its two-story atrium lobby is appointed with copper-colored, chenille couches near vases filled with fresh flowers and peacock feathers. Illuminated glass blocks, embedded in the slate floor, change colors; and optic fibers in the walls bordering the stairs from the lobby to the second level create a starry backdrop at night. The Sofitel features a 24-hour health club with treadmills, stationary bicycles, free weights, and weight-training machines. Café Des Architectes, the hotel’s restaurant, offers French-inspired establishment cuisine and it is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
All accommodations feature feather mattresses, with a décor of light-wood furnishings, and photographs of Chicago architecture. The bathrooms have separate tubs and glass-enclosed showers, French bath products, robes, slippers, candles, and a lighted makeup mirror. Laptop-size safes are provided in the guestrooms, and pets are pampered with treats and chrome-plated bowls. The Sofitel Chicago Water Tower is a great choice for those who want stylish accommodations in a great location.
