    "It's one of those cities we feel we know a lot about because it has such a prominent place in the imaginative life of the twentieth century, whether because of Al Capone, Mayor Daley, or Michael Jordan" Salman Rushdie, January 1996

    For the feel of elegance from another era, choose the Millennium Knickerbocker Hotel Chicago. The rooms are smaller than some of the more contemporary hotels; however, these rooms and suites are beautiful, intimate, and sophisticated. The success of this hotel is based on luxury and service.

    There are 305 guestrooms, The Crystal Ballroom with its 28-foot-high gilded domed ceiling (palatial, indeed), the Martini Bar, and the NIX Restaurant.
    From the moment the doorman opens the door, you know this is something special.
    The hotel has a history that permeates the rooms.

    The location is excellent and within walking distance of Chicago's finest shopping on Michigan Avenue.

    I would suggest asking for the Classic rooms, which are more spacious than the Deluxe rooms. And, they have just recently received a completely new decor, most with chinoiseries armoires. Some even have walk-in marble showers. They also have canopied beds and mini-bars. Of the 305 rooms in the hotel, 109 are Classic Rooms.

    All rooms feature:

    In-room movies, HBO
    Hair dryers
    Iron & Irnoning Boards
    Terrycloth robes
    complimentary newspapers

    The Martini Bar is fantastic. They serve 44 different Martinis plus fine wines, beers, and other cocktails. There is nightly entertainment
    Wed.-Sat.

    The NIX Restaurant has American cuisine in a bistro setting.

    This is an unique hotel. Try it for a special celebration.

    I was a bit apprehensive about staying at the Knickerbocker Hotel on a recent trip we made to Chicago. I had used Priceline to secure a room at a reasonable rate. When I tried to make a request in for a room that had double beds, the telephone reservationist was so accomodating until she found that I had used Priceline, she could not get me off the phone quickly enough and refused to note my request. I read many reviews that was less than favorable so I decided to take a "wait and see" attitude. Upon check in they had given us a room with a queen bed. We were offered a superior room upgrade to a room with double beds. The upgrade was not that much more then what we were paying so we took it.

    This hotel is NOT geared to family traveling; it is more for the businessman, a couple traveling or for two gals in Chicago at Christmastime and are ready to shop!

    The hotel is rated 4 stars, it is quite beautiful in the public areas but the rooms are in need of a definite face lift. The rooms were spotless but a bit shabby. I would rate this hotel 3 and a half stars at best. Our Priceline rate was well below the advertised rate even with the upgrade.

    The Martini Bar was awesome, a great place to have a nightcap after shopping all day. I was impressed as the bar had "Romana Della Notte" otherwise known as "Black Sambuca" a rare version of the clear Sambuca which has more of a bite to it.

    Internet access to others who have no laptop is expensive ($5.00 for 15 minutes) but in this time you can check in and print out boarding passes if you have an upcoming flight. I do however, not recommend this facility for "sufing the net."

    The hotel is just off Michigan Avenue so walking to the shops is easy. It is close to the Hancock Tower where you can go up and have a drink in their cocktail lounge or buy a bite to eat at the Italian deli at street level.
