I just had the pleasure of staying 3 nights at the Swissotel Chicago and can recommend it whole heartedly. First of all the staff was very gracious and it is in a great location. I had a Corner room with a King bed and WOW what a jaw dropping city view! The room is shaped like a triangle and the one interior wall is where the bed is and the two angled walls have panoramic windows, one looking over the river and I guess the other is looking out to the lake. Some of my favorite features were the oh so comfortable bed, like sleeping on a cloud, as well as the ihome for my ipod and the in-room Keurig coffee maker which had me feeling right at home. Next time I will bring some Splenda and a couple of K-cups of cinnamon mocha with me from home now that I know they have that feature. I will definitely be staying there again.
