We Said…

Why we're fiercely into things that are Chicagoan


Lodging

Crowne Plaza Hotel ­Chicago-Metro, moderate, (312) 829-5000,
www.crowneplaza.com/chicagometro. This year-old West Loop lodging bills itself as an "ideal home-away-from-home for weekday business travelers." If only every home were this luxurious! We'd love to be able to hop out of bed each day and have beautiful skyline views, a full-service concierge, a loaded exercise room, and the hotel's other amenities (including access to a Hummer and a driver, if you're staying in a suite).
