Thompson Chicago brings the Thompson brand's polished city style to the Gold Coast, close to Oak Street, the Magnificent Mile and Lake Michigan. The hotel has 247 rooms and suites with mid-century modern furnishings, rainfall showers, Sferra linens and artwork that gives the interiors a residential feel. Some rooms look towards the lake or downtown, while the two-storey penthouse suites add terraces and generous living space. The two-storey penthouse terraces sit high enough above Oak Street to share the same lake views that only some of the standard rooms below them get.
