Expert Tip. Although Chicago's nighttime views are remarkable, the hotel's 13-story atrium lobby is also worthy of attention. The hotel's evening receptions provide a perfect opportunity to take in the lobby's details that include a glass-dome ceiling and the double-sided, black-granite waterfall complemented by boldly hued accent rugs. Of course, those who wish to view Chicago's architecturally magnificent skyline need only board the hotel's elevators to fully appreciate the city's panoramic vista.
