Celebrities, diplomats, families, and corporate travelers have all made their temporary home at the Drake hotel. Its prime location offers guests easy access to Lake Michigan, Wrigley Field, and the Art Institute of Chicago, among many other signature Chicago attractions. The Drake was completed in the 1920s and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Its history and elegance is evident in every upholstered elevator bench, elaborate flower bouquet, and ornate rose colored drape. Even if you don’t want to venture out to the Magnificent Mile, the Drake features an enclosed shopping center with Chanel and Giovanni boutiques. A sold-out concert or theater performance is no obstacle to the Drake’s excellent concierges, and the hotel’s Cape Cod Room, Oak Terrace, and Coq D’Or lounge as much variety and quality as any of the fine esablishment outside. The Drake’s neoclassical guest rooms come with complimentary nightly turndown and chocolates, minibars, bathrobes and designer toiletries, and work desks with high-speed Internet access for corporate guests. Just twenty minutes from Midway and O’Hare International airports, the Drake’s combination of modern sensibilities, convenience and traditional elegance will keep you coming back for future Chicago visits.
