Chicago Magnificent Mile
French luxury meets Chicago architectural ambition. Think clean lines, marble, polished African wood, dramatic mirrors in the lobby, and cocktail culture at Le Bar — with midwestern service warmth underneath it all.

Why It Matters
Jean-Paul Viguier's wedge-shaped tower is architecturally significant in a city famous for its architecture. The building was purpose-designed for Sofitel, giving it a coherence most city hotels never achieve. The Presidential Suite at 1,253 sq ft on the 32nd floor offers panoramic Chicago skyline and Lake Michigan views.
A 32-floor prism of glass that French architect Jean-Paul Viguier designed from scratch, the Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile is one of the few Chicago hotels where the building is the actual story. The exterior — a dramatic white wedge-shape that reads like a ship's prow cutting across the Gold Coast streetscape — was purpose-built for Sofitel, not adapted from an existing structure. Inside, designer Pierre-Yves Rochon layers warm beechwood walls, marble bathrooms, and neutral palettes into rooms that feel genuinely composed. No pool, and in-room spa services are handled by an outside provider, so this is more of a design-led city hotel than a resort.
Where You'll Stay
9 room types available
Classic Room
Entry-level rooms on floors 6–10, designed by Pierre-Yves Rochon. Warm beechwood walls and neutral color palettes keep things calm. Floor-to-ceiling windows look onto the Gold Coast neighborhood below. Marble bathroom with separate glass shower and tub.
King · 32 sqm
Junior Suite
Residence-style suite with furniture custom designed by Pierre-Yves Rochon and a proper sitting area. The deep-soaking tub in the spa-style marble bathroom is the headline feature. At 500 sq ft it feels genuinely spacious for a city hotel suite.
King (+ pull-out sofa bed) · 46 sqmLuxury Room
The jump up to floors 22–32 is where the views really kick in. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the room with natural light and frame downtown Chicago plus partial Lake Michigan sightlines. Built-in multi-adapter charging stations next to the bed are a practical touch.
King · 33 sqmMagnifique Suite
Floors 23–31, sitting high above the Chicago streets. Designed for guests who want the full Sofitel suite experience with panoramic high-rise views. Recently renovated.
KingPresidential Suite
The whole 32nd floor's crown jewel — a five-room suite where Parisian architects studied contemporary urban penthouses for inspiration. Floor-to-ceiling windows deliver a panoramic view of both the downtown Chicago skyline and Lake Michigan. The master bathroom's Hoesch tub is positioned against a wall of windows, creating the illusion of floating above the city. Frette linens throughout.
King
Prestige Suite
Corner-room floor plan with commanding views — a step up from the Junior Suite in terms of sightlines and space. Exceptional lifestyle comfort with Rochon-designed décor.
KingSignature Suite
City loft-inspired floor plan with urbane décor and clever tech. A step above the Junior Suite in personality — feels like a Chicago loft, not just a hotel room.
KingSuperior Double Room
The double-bed option in the Superior tier, designed for guests who prefer two beds over one king. Urban-chic design with the same Rochon sensibility and full luxury appointments.
DoubleSuperior Room
Floors 11–21 with southeastern and southwestern exposure, so you get all-day natural light and broader skyline angles. Same Rochon design language as the Classic, but noticeably better views.
