Up-and-coming artists, fashion boutiques and cutting-edge restaurants are all within walking distance of Oakwood Chicago. The famous shops of Michigan Avenue are also nearby, and the lake itself is just as easy to reach. The accommodations at Oakwood are sleek and utilitarian. Pots, pans and kitchen utensils are provided, as are spacious kitchens. The rooms are decorated in a variety of soothing earth tones with soft overstuffed sofas and chairs and rich wood tables. Accents are in classic colors, such as red or blue. Small touches such as candles and plenty of greenery make the space home-like. Nearby coffee lounge F212 is a local favorite for a daytime espresso; by night, DJs spin ambient grooves as diners enjoy lobster pot pie and chocolate shots. Trendy twenty-somethings prowl the Funky Buddha Lounge or the House of Blues after hours, looking for cosmopolitan beats to accompany their cocktails. Numerous River North art galleries give you a place to indulge your mind before you indulge your palate.
