The Dana

(room with a view)

Although Chicago itself was awesome, about half of the fun of going away was just getting to get out of our cramped apartment and staying in some awesome digs (that are cleaned on a daily basis). Enter, the Dana. The bed: fluffy and huge, the shower: waterfall style, the view: awesomely displayed in floor to ceiling windows.

Plus, they had turndown service. I know, lots of hotels have turn down service. But it's just so awesome to have someone come down and pull back your sheets, close the blinds (which were fairly complicated), and leave you a chocolate. I wish that could happen every day (and yes, I know that if that happened to you every day it would make you Cleopatra or some sort of despot).

Oh, and there is are some really awesome view from the rooftop lounge as well, although it was a little too clubby for our taste.
