Third stay at the Zachary...Wonderful hotel in a neat part of Chicago. If you get a room facing Clarke Ave., you can see into the outfield of Wrigley Field. The decor is very serious Cubs' history oriented. Great eating choices within the walls: breakfast bagels of all flavors at Steingold's, excellent simple meals at Mordecai, and the bar is very accommodating if you just want snacks with cocktails. The whiskey and bourbon lists are quite extensive.
When we booked, the only room choice was a "Junior Suite," which, I admit was larger than we needed. The balcony view was superb, but it was a bother to walk so far from bed to desk to closet to bath...just sayin'. I suppose it is a distinction to have a stereo system, turntable and a few choices of vinyl in a hotel room, but it is more a novelty than something likely to be used. Still, it was a great stay, and I'd return when next in Chicago; I'd just try to book a standard room.
