No title - expert review
On a busy day the lobby of this Hilton might be mistaken for a terminal at O'Hare Airport; it's a bustling convention hotel, but one that retains its distinguished 1920s heritage in a Renaissance-inspired entrance hall and gold-and-gilt Grand Ballroom. We're fans of its gym, which, at 28,000 square ...

When it opened in 1927, this massive brick-and-stone edifice billed itself as the largest hotel in the world. Today the Hilton still runs like a small city, with numerous restaurants and shops and a steady stream of conventioneers. Its colorful history includes visits by Queen Elizabeth, Emperor Hir...

The genuine Irish pub atmosphere here is doubly enhanced by the authentic Irish fare. Start with a pile of Guinness-battered onion rings, or maybe the Galway Irish chips, a rubble of potato fries that comes with a zippy Irish curry sauce. Stick-to-the-ribs entrees include a decent shepherd's pie, la...

This hotel began life in 1927 as the Stevens Hotel. At the time it was touted as the largest hostelry in the world. Today is has been trimmed down and modernized. But with its 1,543 rooms and suites, its size is still quite impressive. It is in a good location, near the city's celebrated Art Institu...
