Kimpton Gray Hotel by IHG  

In the heart of downtown Chicago, steps from Chase Tower, Chagall's Four Seasons and a short walk to Willis Tower and Millennium Park. A 4.5-star downtown hotel perfect for business trips or a city weekend — pet-friendly and centrally located for sightseeing.

Housed in a historic marble building with a bespoke, tailored vibe — think Savile Row meets the Financial District. Rooms are air-conditioned and quietly luxe with minibars, flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, bathrobes and spa-style bathrooms stocked with complimentary toiletries. Public spaces nod to bold, curated design: cozy lounges and a law-library meets-lounge energy.

Spa center, 24-hour fitness center and on-site parking keep your routine intact. Concierge and a tour desk help map Chicago adventures. Elevators, laundry/dry cleaning, ATM and a 24-hour front desk add easy convenience. Wired and wireless internet are offered (surcharge applies). Wake up to downtown skyline mornings.

Extensive event facilities — about 138,317 sq ft of meeting and conference space — plus meeting rooms and high-speed (wired) internet options for smooth presentations and corporate events.

Several on-site restaurants and lounges serve everything from chef-driven New American to Argentine-inspired bites. Notable spots include a law-library–themed bar, an Argentinean-inspired lounge with a retractable glass roof, and a flagship restaurant. Cooked-to-order breakfasts are available on weekdays for a fee, and a lively bar/lounge keeps evenings buzzing.
