The Sheraton Chicago Hotel and Towers is an award winning luxury hotel in downtown near the mouth of the Chicago River and overlooking Lake Michigan. Guests can stroll only a few blocks to many of Chicago's major attractions, including the Navy Pier entertainment and shopping complex, and the Magnificent Mile's high end shops, and world renown restaurants and museums.
The spacious, domed lobby creates an impressive entrance, with rich, inlaid woods and polished marble. This being a sports crazed town, the Sheraton offers a steakhouse named after Don Shula, the famed former coach of pro football's Miami Dolphins. (What about Ditka and "Da Bears?" The restaurant doesn't only serve steak, but nearly everything to suit anyone's tastebuds. Guests can throw back a few, smoke imported cigars and nosh Chicago style sandwiches in Spectator's or Waves, the hotel's riverfront sports and lobby bars respectively. When not sightseeing, making deals or watching Da Bears, the loveable Cubs, the all but ignored White Sox and Bulls, or hockey's Blackhawks, patrons can work out at the hotel's state of the art health club while taking in breathtaking views of the Chicago River, and then swim laps in the indoor pool.
The 1,209 guest rooms, many with river or lake views, feature contemporary furnishings complemented by abstract fabric patterns in neutral colors and jewel tones. They include large desks, comfy premium beddings, massaging showerheads, bathrobes, pay movies, video game consoles and high speed Internet access.
Enjoying membership in a well regarded global hotel company, the Sheraton Chicago Hotel and Towers attracts many business travelers during the week, but vacationing families flood the place on weekends. As in the words of Homer Simpson, "mmmmmmmmm . . . massaging showerheads!"
