Striking architecture converges with the excitement of the Windy City at the Sofitel Chicago Water Tower. Set in a triangular-shaped, 32-story prism of glass, the hotel offers an unmistakable presence in the heart of downtown—close to everything from the Magnificent Mile to museums and top-drawer boutique shopping.

A suitably grand welcome waits in the two-story lobby, a dramatic space with fiber-optic walls and black granite flooring. A monumental triangular staircase leads to four window-walled meeting rooms on the second level, equipped with amenities like mahogany tables and Herman Miller Aeron chairs. More stairs ascend to the third level grand ballroom with floor-to-ceiling windows and a glass-walled prefunction area and four additional meeting rooms. All meeting rooms offer panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, full audiovisual capabilities plus both wired and wireless Internet access.

Visual drama continues in 415 rooms and suites with Chicago skyline and Lake Michigan views. The decor exemplifies art de vivre with designer furnishings, natural beechwood walls, and spacious marble baths. A fitness center, massage services, and 24-hour room service add to the hotel’s creature comforts.

For dining and socializing, the options include Café des Architectes, serving modern brasserie fare with a seasonal terrace; and Le Bar, pouring specialty martinis well into the night with a lively people-watching scene. In addition, the Cigale Private Dining Room, complete with floor-to-ceiling windows and an open kitchen, seats up to 50 for a sit-down meal or accommodates up to 75 guests for receptions.

Thank you so much for everything this weekend, especially the nice gift delivered to my room! It was totally unnecessary but very thoughtful (and delicious!). My guests had a wonderful time at your hotel and were truly “wowed” by everything.
