Lonely Planet

"Although the exterior was designed by Daniel Burnham’s firm, the hotel’s interior recalls Frank Lloyd Wright: the chunky wood furniture has a distinct Prairie School charm." Full review

Gayot

"Stylish, well-sited accommodations with continental flair and plenty of above par amenities."
