Like something out of a 19th century novel, the heavy blue velvet drapes, expansive marble floors, and ornate wrought iron stairwells lend the Burnham Hotel a feeling of timeless elegance in the middle of Chicago’s contemporary downtown Loop. Views from the corner suites are some of the best in the city. The fleet of bikes is the best way to get around the neighborhood. A little extra for guests’ inner yogi: there are complimentary yoga mats in every room.
