Overview
InterContinental Chicago
Uniting old-world elegance and sophisticated, contemporary design, the 4 star InterContinental hotel Chicago is comprised of two towering buildings, the Main Building and the Historic Tower. With a front entrance directly along the world-famous North Michigan Avenue, one of the most desired boulevards in all of downtown Chicago, this luxury hotel features easy access to exclusive shopping, renowned dining, theaters and museums, just beyond the hotel.
Heralded as a grand feat of engineering at the time that it was built in 1929, the Ornate Pool and its fourteenth floor location, was one of the highest indoor pools in the world. Frequented by Olympic gold-medalist, Johnny Weissmuller, the historic pool’s classic, romantic design is the perfect setting to do laps or simply relax and revel in the space’s architectural details. The InterContinental Chicago Spa features onsite massage therapists trained in many different massage styles and techniques guaranteed to help make any visit a more relaxing one. The Chicago InterContinental also boasts one of the city’s largest health and fitness centers, offering three levels of state-of-the-art equipment, dry saunas and personal training.
For fine dining in a relaxed, approachable atmosphere, savor steak house classics in Michael Jordan's Steak House. Dedicated to excellence in both service and culinary offerings, Michael Jordan's features only the best prime, dry-aged beef worthy of its prestigious address and legendary namesake. For lighter fare, sample carefully-selected wine options, chocolate and cheese at Eno or enjoy soothing jazz music, award-winning martinis and great conversation at The Bar. Time is valuable, especially in the morning; the convenient on-site Starbucks offers gourmet coffee, tea, and a variety of delicacies to help you get a head start.
