The Bar/Lounge at Hotel Chicago Downtown, Autograph Collection

"Fluff up your best feather boa and head for the bar – the crystal-drenched chandeliers and deep-tufted red velvet sofas would make any high-class madam feel right at home"

" With black-and-white stylish designs, rooms and suites have minibars, coffeemakers, and floor-to-ceiling windows that offer river views in some"

"More than anything, the location offers couldn’t-be-easier access to the many restaurants of River North, including the Italian Siena Tavern from "Top Chef" hunk Fabio Viviani, old-school surf-and-turf Bavette’s Bar & Boeuf and the hidden tiki bar Three Dots and a Dash (look for it in the alley)"

"You’ll also find a state-of-the-art workout room, business center, meeting facilities and a lobby bar serving meals throughout the day"

"There is a 10-pin bowling alley for a little retro fun and a sixth-floor lounge powered by Microsoft, but the Crimson Lounge is the jewel in the crown"

"Designated "technology" rooms come with Xbox videogame consoles and mp3 players; you can also try out games in the small-but-nightclubby Studio, a lounge stocked with Microsoft home-entertainment options"

"For guests only, there is also a groovy technology lounge stocked with laptops, video games like Guitar Hero, downloadable music, movies, and HDTV screens, which are wired together so that Xbox players can face off from across the room"

"For guests only, there is also a groovy technology lounge stocked with laptops, video games, downloadable music, movies, and big TVs, which are wired together so that Xbox players can face off from across the room"

"The revamped image brought Moulin Rouge-inspired Crimson Lounge, a high-tech entertainment lounge and an east-west fusion décor"
