Sutton Place Hotel
Chicago, Illinois, USA

The Sutton Place Hotel pampers guests with an aerobics fitness suite and affiliation with a full-service health club, as well as pre-arranging in-room massages to unwind after a busy day exploring.

Following an extensive renovation, Art Deco-inspired architecture graces all 246 guestrooms and 36 junior suites.
The standard in-room amenities include deep soaking tubs, separate glass-enclosed showers, plush robes and lavish bath accessories.  Guests also enjoy state-of-the-art sound systems, mini bars, a complimentary music CD selection, 25-inch televisions and high-speed internet connection.
Business travellers appreciate the ergonomic work chairs as well as the newly styled desks with extra-wide surfaces, together with three dual-line telephones with voice mail and computer modem connections.
The 36 junior suites and six penthouses have spacious seating areas with rich red touches and custom leather sofas that convert to full-size sleepers.  Some suites offer balconies and outdoor terraces.  Six duplex penthouses pamper residents with living rooms and half baths on one level, with bedroom and marble master baths above.

The Whiskey Bar & Grill brings the classic lounge of Rande Gerber’s famed New York City and Los Angeles Whiskey Bars to Chicago.  A Gold Coast favourite, The Whiskey Bar & Grill offers everything from breakfast and lunch to high-style dinner or nightcaps after an evening on the town.
Steeped in the lounge culture of the past, the overall design of sleek modernity reflects Gerber’s personal vision for The Whiskey.  Offering a fresh and simple approach to seasonal selections, the menu is diverse enough to please a variety of appetites.

Eight distinctive function rooms on the first four floors – all filled with natural light – host meetings, banquets and receptions for up to 300. 
While an experienced planning and private-dining team guarantees the success of every event, the fourth floor’s business centre meets the needs of working travellers with everything from word processing to colour printing and full-service administrative assistance.
Orientated to the business traveller’s needs, the hotel has wireless access to high-speed internet connection in the hotel’s public areas.

From the elegance of Michigan Avenue’s shops to the stunning sweep of the lakefront skyline, Chicago has much to offer.  The Loop, the city’s central business district, is a living museum of skyscraper architecture, while many outlying neighbourhoods retain the grace and homely quality of pre-World War II America.
The Chicago Architecture Foundation operates downtown walking tours of historic and contemporary architecture and for a waterfront detour and great view of the skyline, make a stop at Navy Pier, a former shipping pier that now has shops, restaurants and bars and an outdoor pavilion for music, dance and drama performances.
Grant Park proves to be an oasis of fun, where every year more than 65 of the most popular Chicago restaurants open up food booths so visitors can sample a broad array of goodies from this most diverse restaurant city.  It also comes alive with swing, jive, fusion and bebop when Jazz Fest opens the Labour Day weekend at the Petrillo Music Shell.
