    The Intercontinental is a pretty spiffy place - I was glad to find a good rate so I could check out the rooms at this traditional and established Chicago landmark. The rooms are a little smaller than what you might expect for the price - the Intercontinental is often classified as a 4.5 star property. On the other hand, I like the rooms themselves - they have "art deco" touches that are entirely in keeping with the age and design of the hotel. My room was on the 12th floor and had a great view of bustling Michigan Avenue below. It was also far enough up so that the traffic noise was minimal. (I used one of those discount booking services, and was able to get a rate of about $100 a night plus change. I think I was lucky -- you can spend a lot more here if you are silly enough to pay the rack rate.)

    A major attraction of the Intercontinental is the historic pool, located on the 12th floor of the historic tower. It's the kind of place where you expect to run into Esther Williams and a bevy of beauties doing a Busby Berkeley routine.

    Intercontinental bought this property in 1988 and recently finished renovations to its rooms in the old part and in the modern tower. This is the lion medallion looking back to the entranceway. It was originally built in 1929 as Medinah Athletic Club -- and didn't survive the economic depression.

    Hotel Intercontinental is the perfect place. I do not know the exact price because we recieved a group discount, but I have seen deals for about 170 a night.

    A beautiful hotel both inside and out. The view from the upper stories is magnificent and the location allows you to walk to anywhere in downtown.

  • We stayed at the Intercontinental for 3 nights and were treated like royalty by everyone. The room was spacious. The room service was pricey, but the food was fabulous.

    The personnel is outstanding. All the employees we encountered were so accommodating.

    Even if you don't use the pool, you must at least go see it as I did. As you first enter, it appears as if you have entered something out of Roman literature. The pool was build as part of the originial construction of the building dating back to 1929. At its time, it was considered quite extraordinary to have built a pool above ground. There is a statue of Neptune on the far wall and there is stadium seating for observers. The pool is located in the historical tower of the building.

    The InterContinental Hotel is a luxury landmark hotel. The historical building was originally built in 1929 and served as a luxury men's club . It was converted to a hotel in 1988. The InterContinental is located in the heart of Chicago's Magnificent Mile. As far as location goes, it could not be more convenient. Some sites and attractions are within walking distance. The trolley stops are located right by the hotel. The service was good and the rooms were fine.

    You must check out the pool while you are there. (See tip below.)
