Hotel 71's View Hits Your Eye Like a Chicago Pizza Pie

Where: 71 East Wacker Drive [map], Chicago, IL, United States, 60601

We are suckers for a room with a killer view.  We find that we are even more likely to forgive some minor hotel inconveniences if we can stare out the window at something pretty--yeah we are that shallow. Let's help out our fellow hotel mavens by uploading rooms with killer views to the HotelChatter/Flickr photo pool, or by sending the photo along to us. We will feature our favorites in this space from time to time. Remember to tell us the name of the hotel and the room number of the hot view.

We don't usually serve up a whole lot of big-city hotel views in our weekly Killer Views feature because, well, the buildings in big cities are usually close together and the only thing that typically serves to separate "good" views from "bad" views is the attractiveness of the person in the window across from yours.

However! The boutique-cool Hotel 71 in Chicago has given us a breath of fresh Midwestern air with this view, snapped by scripsi_scriptum earlier this month. Most of the property's TripAdvisor reviews are pretty positive — literally, "Great location, very clean, and helpful staff. What more can I say?" is the most recent review, which, really, what more do we want?

Oh, right, decent room rates. And they're not bad at all: basic rooms start around $149.00.
