| nina_reis's Full Review: Whitehall Hotel (The) |
My husband and I have stayed in a number of downtown Chicago hotels, some larger chains but mostly boutique hotels, and I have to say the Whitehall Hotel is my favorite. The Whitehall is perfect for a weekend getaway for practical reasonsyoure just steps away from amazing restaurants, shopping, Michigan Avenue and Watertower Place, theatres, etc. The thing that really makes this place special, however, is its character. The Whitehall is vintage elegance in the heart of Chicago. The rooms are homey and lovely with a bed and breakfast feel. My husband and I got so comfortable that sometimes it was a toss-up between going out and staying in! The bed was fantasticfirm support with feathertopdivinely comfortable. Theyve decorated the rooms very nicely, with comfy, oversized chairs and plenty of room. Twenty-four hour room service is available, and all the staff members are true prosvery knowledgeable about the area and things to do, extremely accommodating, and very friendly. Fornetto Mei is the restaurant adjoining the hotel, and Id have to argue that its one of the most underrated restaurants in the city! Ot boasts a cozy, warm atmosphere with nice views of the sidewalk for people watching, and the food is delicious. Its a very interesting concept as wellthey serve both Italian and Asian fare, but its not fusionthey keep the two cuisines separate. A lovely wine list accompanies the restaurants menu. The building dates from 1928, and of course its location in the Gold Coast neighborhood is delightful. If youre looking for a luxurious, charming, beautiful little boutique hotel in Chicago, this is the place to go!
