2 blocks from Marshall Fields and Block 37. 2 Blocks from Chicago Theater and Oriental Palace, 3 Blocks from the start of Mag Mile, 3 blocks to the Goodman, 3 blocks to the lake, 2 blocks to the Art Institute, 1 block from the Cultural Center, 1 Block from Block 37 Arts Group.
The hotel...is in business to fill the rooms. Not build a building where it looks good.
Guess my point about this is. It is fine to say one is disappointed with the location because it will detract from the impact of the building....but to keep arguing that it is basically not in a good area...is not very broad minded.
