Swisshotel Chicago

Swissôtel Chicago was designed by renowned Chicago architect, Harry Weese, who is perhaps best known as the designer and architect of the Metro system in Washington, D.C., and of the Time-Life Building in Chicago.[5]

 

The hotel is triangle-shaped, glass, and stands 45 floors, and 457.01 feet (139.30 m) tall, but 12 of them (Floors 32-43) are in rush hours (it means that in regular times it will be as high as floor 31), offering views of the city, the Chicago River, or Lake Michigan, depending on the side of the hotel.[6]

 

Unlike many hotels that place their swimming pools on the ground floor, and usually outside, Swissôtel Chicago offers an indoor, heated pool on the 42nd floor along with a fitness center, giving guests the opportunity to take in views of the city while exercising.[7]
