Fodor's Expert Review InterContinental Chicago Magnificent Mile
505 N. Michigan Ave., Chicago, Illinois, 60611, USA Fodor's Choice
Blessed with the double threat of sumptuous historic architecture and an enviable location on the Mag Mile, it's no shocker that this hotel has been going strong for around a century. So much to love, from the contemporary air of the guest rooms to the enormous swimming pool and well-stocked fitness center. The Shriner greeting "Es Salamu Aleikum" ("Peace Be to God") is etched on foyer columns, a reminder that it was once the Medinah Men's Athletic Club. In-house destinations include the popular Michael Jordan's Steakhouse and Eno, a wine, cheese, and chocolate bar.
