The Loop: Hotel Burnham, a Kimpton Hotel

Lonely Planet Review

The proprietors brag the Burnham has the highest guest return rates in Chicago; it’s easy to see why. Housed in the landmark 1890s Reliance Building (precedent for the modern skyscraper), the superslick Burnham woos architecture buffs. Blue velvet headboards and gold and blue striped silk draperies make you feel like you’re sleeping in a tufted jewel box. Mahogany writing desks and chaise longues add to the lavish setup. Like other Kimpton Hotels, this one has complimentary wi-fi, wine happy hours and yoga gear to borrow. For an only-in-Chicago experience, try to nab room 809, where Al Capone’s dentist and partner in crime drilled teeth.
