Well situated on “The Magnificent Mile’, a bustling strip of entertainment options, culture, and fine dining, and a 10-minute drive from West Town – a Chicago neighborhood known for culinary excellence and unique architecture – InterContinental Chicago Magnificent Mile is a grand structure that hearkens back to a golden era of 1970s architecture. Originally designed as an exclusive athletic club in 1929, no expenses were spared on the 32-story property, from the 12,000-pound Baccarat chandelier that illuminates its Grand Ballroom, to the Moorish-inspired golden dome that crowns the building. The hotel’s spaces display a mixture of classic Middle Eastern motifs that range from Egyptian to Assyrian to Greek, and the grandiose junior Olympic-sized swimming pool on the 14th floor – one of the largest pools in America – is no different.
