Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile

The outside of the Sofitel looks like some state-of-the-art computing device, with a triangular glass tower leaning gracefully out into space. Inside, stylish staff members tend to stylish thirty- and forty-something guests, many European, who appreciate the minimalist vibe and sizable 400+ rooms (think blond wood and muted grays). The daily $12 amenities fee covers wi-fi, free coffee and more.
