Just 18 miles from O’Hare airport, The Drake Hotel is perfectly located right on the Magnificent Mile in downtown Chicago. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this opulent 1920s landmark has been a symbol of white glove elegance for over 80 years. The pride of Chicago, the Drake has been the first choice of celebrities and heads-of-state since its opening in 1920. Although The Drake puts its guests in the center of Chicago’s exciting shopping, nightlife, culture, and dining, exceptional shopping and dining can be experienced without ever leaving the hotel. Spend your afternoon browsing in the Drake’s enclosed shopping center that includes a florist, a barber shop, and a gift shop, as well as designer boutiques such as Chanel and Giovanni. Then have a lovely cup of tea in the Palm Court. For heartier fare, try out the fabulous seafood at the Cape Cod Room, voted Chicago’s best seafood restaurant, serving downtown diners since 1933. For more variety, try the elegant Coq d’Or or Drake Bros., serving up exceptional specialties to distinguished and loyal clientele.
The decor and layout is unique to each of The Drake’s 537 guestrooms, but most are in a neoclassical style. Nightly turndown service and weekday newspapers are complimentary. High-speed Internet access, work desks, dual telephones and voicemail create the perfect working space for business travelers, while amenities such as designer toiletries, bathrobes, and minibars add a little more luxury to anyone’s leisure time. Executive Rooms, located on the higher floors, have city views and offer a complimentary breakfast in the Executive Lounge as well as complimentary open bar every evening in the lounge. Whether traveling to Chicago for business or pleasure, The Drake Hotel combines tradition with elegance and style to accommodate your needs.
