The Godfrey Hotel Chicago

“The cubist-inspired building housing The Godfrey stands out in Chicago’s River North neighborhood. That same edgy vibe shows up in the hotel’s starkly marbled lobby and slick rooms with contrasting textiles, like velvety purple couches and leather benches. For a crowd and a scene in summer, look no further than the 10,000-square-foot I|O Godfrey—one of the largest indoor-outdoor rooftop spaces in the city.” 

The Godfrey Hotel Hollywood

#16 of the Conde Nast Top 20 Hotels in Los Angeles 

“If you’re looking to spend a night on the town in “New Hollywood” or a stay with modern amenities to keep you comfy while taking meeting at nearby studios like Netflix or Buzzfeed, The Godfrey offers the area’s largest rooftop pool, and some of the best views of the Hollywood Hills from their well-appointed rooms. Located in an area of Hollywood being dubbed both the Vinyl District and New Hollywood, the clientele is a mix of entertainment professionals working with the nearby studios, and tourists on holiday looking to hobnob where the stars of said networks’ shows like Selling Sunset dine. The California-style lobby brings the outside in with floor-to-ceiling retractable glass walls, but the real star of the property is the rooftop, with its 70-foot-tall projection mapping video wall, two bars, swimming pool, and cozy fire pits. And did we mention the rooftop is pooch-friendly?” 

LondonHouse Chicago

#5 of the Conde Nast Top 10 Hotels in Chicago 

“Set in a landmark building where the Magnificent Mile meets the Chicago River, LondonHouse embodies the definition of a luxury lifestyle hotel. The gold coffered ceiling of the ground floor lobby makes a stunning first impression, but the best rooms—the Vista rooms—are in a glass addition featuring floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the river and the bridges that vault over it. Dark wood paneling and framed black-and-white photos lend a slightly masculine tone. There’s a restaurant on the 21st floor, and a rooftop bar just one more story up—its crown jewel being the Cupola and its 360-degree views (a favorite property site for photos).” 

Le Meridien Essex Chicago

#1 of the Conde Nast Top 10 Hotels in Chicago 

“From its airy midcentury modern design to the unbeatable views of Chicago’s skyline and Lake Michigan, Le Méridien Essex Chicago fits all the cosmopolitan chic of the Windy City’s downtown into 14 compact stories. Seated just across from Grant Park, the hotel has prime accessibility to major must-dos in the city, being just a 5-minute walk from Museum Campus and a 15-minute walk from the Art Institute of Chicago. Le Méridien Essex Chicago’s 274 guest rooms are filled with subtly elegant details such as the hidden speakers in the bathroom mirrors and custom Frette bathrobes. The thoughtfulness extends to every nook and cranny of the property— for instance, in the fitness center, guests can spin on Pelotons equipped with Hulu and Netflix. The in-house restaurant, Grant Park Bistro, serves New American classics with European panache—think charred broccolini risotto and Iberico pork skirt steak. After hours, SX Sky Bar doubles as a swanky spot to grab a nightcap and a popular venue for events backgrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows facing the park.”
