Viceroy Chicago
—For the elegant stay
If you’re here to splurge, it’s hard to top the Viceroy, where you will find plush rooms (the smallest is 337 square feet), rides in the hotel’s Tesla, and complimentary bike rentals to wheel around the Gold Coast area. Dining at Somerset is a must – chef Verlord Laguatan serves one of the best fried-chicken dishes in town.
