I'm in CHicago for the next week, and am staying at The Wit on the corner of Lake and State Street. I highly reccomend.www.thewithotel.com
Look at my lovely bed with reading material (including The Chicago Sun Times AND The New York Times) Now that's a proper bed. You can always tell a fine boutique hotel when they include the correct newspapers
and the (albeit freezing right now) roof top deck for a Martini at the end of the day
