Hotel Burnham
1 Washington St.
Chicago, IL 60602
(877) 294-9712 (toll free)
As I was conceiving of Academic Ambassadors, I knew that I had to pin down the major
marketsNew York, LA, San Francisco… and Chicago. Still, Chicago was elusive as
I was holding out for the Hotel Burnhamthe absolute model of what Im trying
to present to traveling academics. Well, its a done deal, and youre going to
love it.
Right in the Loop and across from Marshall Fields (have a mint), the Hotel Burnham
with its white glazed terra cotta facade stands out even amongst the gems of Chicago
architecture.
It is whats inside though that will blow you away. Its 122 guest rooms are stunning
with rich blues and golds, touches of mahogany and marble and spectacular views of the
cityscape below. Fully geared for work as well, the Burnham equips each room with
fax/copier/printer machines. There is a fitness center and a full service restaurant,
the Atwood Cafe, which serves American comfort food in style.
As with all of the Academic Ambassador choices, the Hotel Burnham is surrounded by the
citys best restaurants and shops. The citys major theaters are just blocks
away, as is Michigan Avenue and State Street. The Art Institute, the Field Museum and the
Shedd Aquarium are within walking distance, as well.
I dont get to cover Chicago in my work, but Im already plotting a vacation
there with the Burnham in mind. For those lucky enough to be assigned here, I think the
trip may be even more compelling now (and cheaper!).
In keeping with the Kimpton's arrangement with us, the Burnham is being offered to Academic Ambassadors at their
Best Available Rate (BAR) minus 20% (for the remainder 2010).
