The Whitehall Hotel

The European-style boutique hotel remains a landmark destination in downtown Chicago, offering a very European sense of grace and grandeur. The legendary Whitehall Hotel possesses a rich and treasured history in Chicago dating back to 1928, when the shoreline of Lake Michigan was one block west of Michigan Avenue, Lake Shore Drive began at Oak Street, and the tallest building in Chicago at the time, the Palmolive Building, was nearing completion on the corner of Michigan and Walton. Continuous construction activity in the area marked the beginning of one of the most exciting shopping boulevards in the country – “The Magnificent Mile.” Today, The Whitehall Hotel provides guests with unsurpassed service and unrivaled charm and intimacy. The Whitehall enjoys an international reputation as one of the great boutique hotels in the United States. Hotel guests have included such celebrities as Katharine Hepburn, Richard Burton, Sophia Loren, Paul Newman, Robert Redford, Barry Manilow, The Beatles, Mick Jagger and many world leaders and powerful corporate presidents.
