I slept better as well in the bed at this hotel as I do in my own! High thread count bed sheets and a great mattress helped make our stay very comfortable. We had a corner room (522) which had a nice view facing east. I would ask for the "22" room on any floor. Lake Michigan could be seen between the buildings, including a lighthouse. there was also a view of a rooftop garden below. The room was clean, the lighting was good, the towels were fluffy, and there was enough seating in the room for the two of us (sofa, bench in front of the bed, and a desk chair). It was a lovely place to come home to after meetings, shopping and way too much fine dining around the city. The hotel location is south of the Chicago River, so there is a 3 block walk to get to North Michigan Avenue, or a one block walk to get to Millenium Park. We were approximately three blocks to the Art Institute and the Loop. The room was near the elevator but we heard no noise from that area. Our rate was a negotiated convention rate so there is little to say about the cost other than it was worth it. This was our 4th stay at this Fairmont. I liked this room the best of the four.
