Best Hotels near Kendall College

Housed within an industrial-style building made of concrete and glass, the Ace Hotel Chicago is an urban haven for both business and leisure travelers. The hotel is located in Chicago's West Loop area, a popular district known for its top-notch restaurants and shops. Plus, attractions like the Art Institute of Chicago, The Chicago Theatre and Navy Pier are a short ride away on the L. Accommodations range from "small" 290-square-foot rooms to Ace Suites with 864 square feet of space, but all feature navy, white and gray color palettes, black-tiled bathrooms and midcentury modern furnishings. (Some warn, though, the rooms were a touch on the dark side.) Standard amenities include organic cotton sheets, stocked minibars, free Wi-Fi access, Rudy's toiletries and custom Bluetooth radios. Select guest rooms also boast curated vinyl collections with turntables and acoustic Martin guitars. Outside the rooms, guests can take advantage of the 24-hour fitness center, a photo booth, Waydown (the rooftop bar with nightly entertainment) and a rooftop garden and event space. And when it's time to eat, head to City Mouse, which serves seasonal Midwestern fare daily. Recent visitors loved the hotel's central location, friendly staff and rooftop bar.

Nestled within Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood by The Magnificent Mile's shops and the 360 CHICAGO Observation Deck, the Viceroy Chicago is a convenient option for leisure travelers and history buffs. Inside, you will find 1920s-themed guest rooms and suites with bold accent walls and period-inspired furnishings, plus various modern conveniences, including Nespresso machines, rain showers and free in-room Wi-Fi access. Additional perks like a seasonal rooftop pool and lounge, a fitness center and Somerset, an American restaurant that's helmed by Michelin-starred chef Lee Wolen, are located outside the rooms. Although this Viceroy property lacks other amenities, such as a spa and a business center, many previous guests raved about the Viceroy's "outstanding" service, "spectacular" rooftop and "beautiful" rooms. What's more, several appreciated having access to the hotel's complimentary Tesla car service. If you opt to forgo using the Viceroy's Tesla, you can get around via the L (the closest subway station sits a few blocks away). Or, you can use your own set of wheels, but keep in mind the $72 overnight valet parking fee.
