JW Marriott Chicago
Opening November 11, 2010. From the hotel:
Soaring among skyscrapers in the heart of one of the world's most powerful financial districts, the luxurious JW Marriott Chicago was originally designed by renowned architect Daniel Burnham, an urban planner who created the modern city plan for Chicago. With exquisite architecture and elegant décor, this historical landmark's $396 million restoration blends Burnham's distinctive style with 21st century sensibility, providing downtown Chicago with a hotel of distinctive pedigree.
