A European-style hotel with understated classic décor, the Tremont Chicago offers a low-key elegance much appreciated by those who don’t need to be overwhelmed to be impressed. The hotel has an Old World feel to it, very much like something you would find in turn-of-the-century Italy or France. The furnishings are dark, simple and timeless; the location just off North Michigan Avenue puts you near the Magnificent Mile, the Art Institute and Comiskey Park. Guest rooms at the Tremont feature dark antique-style furniture and a variety of color schemes. Some rooms have ruby carpets, some have deep navy, and others have polished hardwood floors. Walls and linens adhere to a lighter color scheme, such as cream or lemon, to compliment the rich, dark flooring. Before settling into your cozy room, dine at Mike Ditka’s steakhouse. You’ll find sports memorabilia and TVs tuned into the Bulls, Bears or White Sox, as well as classic American fare such as the restaurant’s signature Da Pork Chop. Cap off the evening by heading over to South Wabash Street and visit Buddy Guy’s Legends club for some live blues. A favorite stop for members of the Rolling Stones when they’re in town, you never know when you’ll see Mick or Keith on stage at this Chicago hot spot.
