Raffaello Hotel      

Nestled just off the Magnificent Mile in the heart of downtown Chicago, this boutique hotel is only 20 miles from Chicago O'Hare International Airport. Next door is the John Hancock Observatory, a 100 story skyscraper and Water Tower Place filled with premier retail shopping and restaurants.

Having just completed a 20 million dollar interior renovation, this luxury hotel features top-of-the line Precor training equipment in the Sanctuary Fitness suite, a classic lobby with high-ceilings, early-period chandeliers and modern furnishings. A continetal breakfast is offered daily with Danish pastries and fresh fruit.

The 173 smoke-free guestrooms at the Raffaello Hotel feature high, beamed ceilings and furnishings made of Italian leather. Included are 32-inch flat panel televisions with premium cable channels, video game consoles, CD players and high-speed wireless Internet access for a fee. Private bathrooms offer robes, slippers and granite countertops. Kitchenettes provide glass flatware, stainless steel appliances, microwave ovens, refrigerators and coffeemakers.
