When I think of Chicago, two things come to mind: piping hot deep dish pizza with bubbling cheese, and harsh, ice cold winds that flay your flesh. Because of these mental associations, I tend to want to be pampered when I travel to the Windy City. In fact, "being pampered" becomes the number one business amenity when I visit Chicago. One time, when my luggage was lost (again!), I had the fortune to stay at the W Chicago Lakeshore. Thanks to the hotel's Whatever, Whenever service, the hotel staff went and purchased a warm coat, some new deerskin loafers, and a new belt so that I could make my meetings that day. Not only was that superior customer service, but I felt very pampered and motivated to have a successful trip. Here are some of my recommendations for best business hotels in Chicago.
