For a hotel of this caliber, you may be surprised to find that a few nights here, in one of their 285 fine rooms, could be within your budget. Experience the daytime bustle of the city, and then come home to an intimate retreat in a real Chicago neighborhood. Built in 1926, this elegant, National Historic hotel has catered to Cary Grant, Richard Pryor, Shirley MacLaine and numerous other celebrities. In the 1950s, the hotel was the preferred Chicago hotel for singer and actor Frank Sinatra, and many a night, he would keep the staff of the hotel's Pump Room working until the wee hours of the night in order to entertain his friends properly. The Pump Room is still there, the hotel's lobby is still gorgeous, and the entire experience is still first rate. Located in downtown Chicago, the Omni is a short cab ride to the McCormick Place Convention Center.
