This is where I'm holed up.... the Hilton Chicago on South Michigan Avenue. A Chcago icon. Constructed with a budget of USD30 million in 1927 originally called the Stevens Hotel Chicago it was the largest hotel in the world for a time with 3,000 rooms with a roof top 18 hole golf course, 3 story laundry, in house hospital and 5 sub-basements.... awesome specs even by today's standards
This place has multiple lobbies or simply 'grand corridors' for want of a better word with no apparent function (by today's standards).... very old skool. This one is just past the main doors on South Michigan Avenue...
Past that corridor/'lobby' you get here .... a clock which serves as a focal point ..... nice
Its located in the centre of this double/triple height area leading to the 2 ballrooms boulevard and grand....
left (street) side detail:
right side detail:
around the ballroom level area
This is street side on ballroom level.... dunno its function but great as guest holding before making grand entrance into the ballrooms
That leads to another lobby/grand corridor....
and then you get to the lift lobby....
and when you get into the lifts ...... nice wooden cars with...... a TV! shows news all the time.....
Upstairs.... looooooong corridors are the name of the day..... dunno maybe 2-3 blocks long ?
Each floor has its own lift lobby..... this one is on the 14th floor...
Its not the most expensive hotel here.... there's always the Drake.... but old skool styling makes it very popular. I like it.
