71 East Wacker Drive

Hotel 71 in Chicago is an amazingly elegant hotel with a decidedly modern edge. While being modern, it stays true to comfort and warmth as well.
The modern touches begin with the outside of the building. Hotel 71 is constructed of stainless steel and its windows create a blue wave effect that is of great architectural interest.
Once inside Hotel 71, the lobby is the first clue to the elegant sophistication you will find awaiting you. There are armless black leather chairs, black and white spotted ottomans, and a honey colored square display console lending the modern touch while soothing shades of blue keep it all very comfortable.
The hallways leading to the guest rooms at Hotel 71 speak volumes about the attention to elegance you will find. Tone on tone striped carpeting and dark paneling play well against each other in the subtle lighting.
Once in your room at the Hotel 71, you will have an immediate appreciation for the original intention of the building. Designed in 1958 by Milton Schwartz and Associates, Hotel 71 was built to be condominiums. This original intended purpose explains the expanse of each guest room, the smallest of which is four hundred square feet.
After you have had an opportunity to appreciate the size of your room, your eyes will begin to enjoy the pleasantries in the room. You will find a somewhat brighter decorating scheme that is in keeping with the contemporary design and feel of the lobby.
Beige and white checked bedspreads are saved from feeling like country decor by the unique headboards. The headboards are attached to the wall rather than the bed and have a different, more angular take on the beige and white scheme.
The black and white leopard print club chairs in the rooms at the Hotel 71 further emphasize the modern feeling while leading to amazing views of Chicago's cityscape outside the window.
In the bathroom, guests will be delighted with the high quality counter surfaces and hardware chosen for their convenience and beauty.
The writing desks found in the rooms at the Hotel 71 are designed for either long work hours for business travelers or a quick dinner reservation by the well-satisfied tourist.
Some of the specialty features of rooms not found in other hotels include a three-phone telephone system that includes speakerphone, a phone in the bathroom, and an atomic alarm clock.
If you are in Chicago for business and are fortunate enough to stay in within Hotel 71 for meetings, you will appreciate the care taken with the meeting and event spaces.
Not only are the meeting spaces extremely well maintained, they also provide natural light that will reduce eye strain for business associates.
Of course, a space as elegant as Hotel 71 in Chicago must also be judged based on it customer service. Again, Hotel 71 is in the top of its class in this area.
Hotel staff are courteous and respectful of all guests and are eager to help make guests' stay as enjoyable as possible.
Hotel 71 in Chicago is an elegant yet modern hotel where all guests find comfort and luxurious appointments in every area. While you are in Chicago, do what so many other pleased travelers have done and book a room at the Hotel 71.
