This was my second visit to Swissotel Chicago. The last visit was Summer of 2011. The rooms are spacious and have plenty of space to move about. The views of the city and lake are fantastic. I like the triangle design of the building as it gives the hallways a maze type feel, but very different than the traditional hotel with long corridors. The redesign of the lobby was excellent. It used to be dark traditional wood with moldings, but now is a sleek blonder wood that is square and flush, a very contemporary but still elegant look. There is a bar in the lobby that serves food a nice added bonus. Also a 24 hour convenience store is in the lobby, if you don't want to pay high prices there is a CVS around the corner on Columbus. It is a great hotel however I still feel like it is very far east from the rest of the city, but that gives it a quiet secluded feel in the midst of a big city. I would stay here again for marathons or races, but if I wanted to experience night life I would choose a different hotel. Very please with all aspects of Swissotel Chicago.
