Waldorf Astoria Chicago

Why it's in the collection

Because a Lucien Lagrange château with a Paris-style motor court, a fireplace or a balcony in most suites and a house car for the Gold Coast is the most residential way to stay a block off Michigan Avenue.

• A 60-story château-style tower by Lucien Lagrange, entered through a Paris-inspired motor court on East Walton Street; opened in 2009 as The Elysian, it became Waldorf Astoria in February 2012 and completed a full guestroom renovation in 2022, with 214 rooms.
• Brass Tack, the American brasserie on the third floor, and Bernard's, a speakeasy-style cocktail lounge, are the two to know.
• The Waldorf Astoria Spa & Health Club covers 14,000 square feet with a heated indoor pool, a Pilates studio and a nail salon; Ashiatsu massage is on the treatment menu.
• Most suites have a fireplace or a furnished balcony, with the Presidential Suite at the top; a complimentary BMW house car takes guests anywhere within a mile.
