Ivy Hotel

Chicago


The 63-room Ivy parcels out its chambers so that there are just five per floor, making it feel exceptionally intimate. The sleek and chic rooms are decently sized and offer platform beds, large bathrooms with rainfall showers (plus soaking tubs in suites) and bamboo flooring. It often shows up on booking sites with good deals, so take advantage.
