The Restaurant at The Blackstone, Autograph Collection

"The downstairs Spanish tapas restaurant, Mercat a la Planxa, is frequented as much by locals as visitors"

"Property perks include an in-house Starbucks and the popular Mercat a la Planxa tapas restaurant and bar"

"Some of the bright, modern rooms have great views of Lake Michigan, the meeting spaces are grand, and the on-site tapas restaurant draws locals as well as guests"

"Celebrity chef Jose Garces' on-site restaurant, Mercat a la Planxa, serves tapas, chops and lakefront views"

"This “beautifully restored” beaux arts property (first opened in 1910 and once frequented by movie stars and politicians) has been remodeled “inside and out” and boasts “heavenly” luxury linens in “spacious rooms and bathrooms”, many with “a view of Lake Michigan and Grant Park”; proximity to McCormick Place makes it an “excellent choice for convention-goers”, and the “welcoming” staff, “delicious” tapas restaurant and “much-appreciated” on-site Starbucks are bonuses"

"Celebrity chef Jose Garces offers a taste of Catalonia with his modern Mediterranean menu at the hotel’s Mercat a la Planxa restaurant"

"The only restaurant on-site, Mercat a la Planxa, is superb, offering grilled-to-order Catalan tapas in a two-story mod-Mediterranean space overlooking Grant Park, with a separate Michigan Avenue entrance"
