Huge shout-out to commenter AJB for correctly guessing, with amazing precision, last week's hotel with the mashed potato bar in room service. Yes, this is the InterContinental Chicago on Michigan Avenue aka Magnificent Mile, right next to the Tribune Tower, the River and all the fashion stores your little heart desires.
The hotel recently completed a $30 million renovation in April which has upgraded all 328 rooms in its Historic Tower (which dates back to 1929) with flat-screen TVs, new carpeting and new furniture such as oversized armchairs and desks with plug panels, our new must-have.
We popped into room 1602, a standard room, which looks out over Michigan Avenue. And on this day, the city was swarming with Chicago Blackhawks fans celebrating their team's recent Stanley Cup win. If you look closely, you can see the sea of red on the street.
We'll have even more on the hotel tomorrow, including a Pitch Your Hotel with the GM, but for now, just admire what a room rate of about $229 will get you on the weekends here at IC Chicago.
