Book NowThe Drake Review
Built in 1920, the grande dame of Chicago hotels presides over the northernmost end of Michigan Avenue; the lobby, inspired by an Italian Renaissance palace, is all cream-color walls and chandeliers dating from the 1920s. The sounds of a fountain and harpist beckon at the Palm Court, a traditional setting for afternoon tea. There's live jazz in the Coq d'Or on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, and the Cape Cod Room serves to-die-for crab cakes.
