The Langham Chicago

The Langham, Chicago is housed within the landmarked IBM Building, a majestic Mies van der Rohe-designed tower that stands as a triumph of mid-century modernism. Located along the Chicago River, the property offers a sophisticated retreat that balances its industrial, bronze-tinted exterior with an interior defined by warm textures, rich walnut, and floor-to-ceiling windows. The guest experience is designed around the concept of "The Art of the Stay," featuring a museum-quality contemporary art collection and a sense of quiet tranquility that feels worlds away from the bustling Loop just outside its doors.

The Langham mirrors the 'less is more' philosophy of its Mies van der Rohe setting by opting for a transparent room rate plus tax model. In an area where mandatory daily surcharges have become the norm, this property eschews unbundled fees. By doing so, they ensure that access to the Chuan Spa facilities and the attentive concierge service feels like a fundamental part of the stay, rather than a line-item add-on.

The hotel’s amenities are headlined by the award-winning Chuan Spa, which utilizes the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine to offer a comprehensive wellness journey. The culinary program features Travelle, a stylish lounge and restaurant serving seasonal American cuisine with dramatic river views. Guest rooms are among the largest in the city, designed with a residential sensibility and featuring the brand’s signature blissfully comfortable beds. For travelers seeking five-star service and architectural significance without the added daily amenity fees, The Langham remains a reliable choice in the heart of the city.
