Sitting in the
heart of the Gold Coast, Chicago's most exclusive
neighborhood, the Whitehall Hotel offers a European
boutique sense of grace and grandeur amid the Magnificent
Mile's shops, restaurants, theaters and entertainment
and the city's Loop business district. Guests looking
for some action are only a block from the restaurants
and pulsating clubs of Rush Street. Recreational
enthusiasts are just five blocks from Lake Michigan's
20-mile shoreline path perfect for walking, jogging,
biking and skating.
The elegant lobby of original wood paneling, fresh
flowers, antique mahogany furnishings, richly patterned
carpeting and oil paintings provides quiet settings
for conversation, reading and sipping tea. In addition
to the Mag Mile's upscale dining, the hotel's restaurant,
Fornetto Mei, specializes in pan-Italian influenced
cuisine in a stylish room festooned with colorful
murals and dark woods. Fornetto Mei's trendy bar
serves more than 200 varieties of martinis, 40 different
wines and abundant single malt whiskies, port, Madeira
and sherry.
Guests also can work out at the Whitehall's fully
equipped fitness center, get work done in the
business center and pamper themselves with 24-hour
room service.
The Whitehall's 223 guestrooms are decorated
with antique style, dark-wood furniture, crown
moldings and carved headboards with contrasting
floral and striped prints. They feature minibars,
data ports and specialty touches like fluffy terrycloth
bathrobes and designer bath products.
