Gold Coast: Sofitel Chicago Water Tower

Lonely Planet Review

The Sofitel looks a little like some state-of-the-art Mac computing device from the outside, its triangular glass tower leaning gracefully forward into space. Inside, stylish staff members tend to stylish 30- and 40-something guests, who come here for the minimalist vibe (think blond wood and rectangular lines). The on-site restaurant, Café des Architectes, with its sculptural food served in a striking red and black dining room, fits right in.
