A Chcago icon. Constructed with a budget of USD30 million in 1927 originally called the Stevens Hotel Chicago it was the largest hotel in the world for a time with 3,000 rooms with a roof top 18 hole golf course, 3 story laundry, in house hospital and 5 sub-basements.... awesome specs even by today's standards<img src="http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn313/therealjipster/DSC_47.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn313/therealjipster/DSC_42.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />This place has multiple lobbies or simply 'grand corridors' for want of a better word with no apparent function (by today's standards).... very old skool. This one is just past the main doors on South Michigan Avenue...<img src="http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn313/therealjipster/DSC_40.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Past that corridor/'lobby' you get here ....  a clock which serves as a focal point ..... nice<img src="http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn313/therealjipster/DSC_73.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Its located in the centre of this double/triple height area leading to the 2 ballrooms boulevard and grand....<img src="http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn313/therealjipster/DSC_56.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />left (street) side detail:<img src="http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn313/therealjipster/DSC_69.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />right side detail:<img src="http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn313/therealjipster/DSC_68.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />around the ballroom level area<img src="http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn313/therealjipster/DSC_66.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />This is street side on ballroom level.... dunno its function but great as guest holding before making grand entrance into the ballrooms<img src="http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn313/therealjipster/DSC_58.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />That leads to another lobby/grand corridor....<img src="http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn313/therealjipster/expansivelobbygorundfloor_2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />and then you get to the lift lobby....<img src="http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn313/therealjipster/DSC_76.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn313/therealjipster/DSC_77.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />and when you get into the lifts ...... nice wooden cars with...... a TV! shows news all the time.....<img src="http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn313/therealjipster/DSC_81.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Upstairs.... looooooong corridors are the name of the day..... dunno maybe 2-3 blocks long ?<img src="http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn313/therealjipster/hotelcorridor_2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Each floor has its own lift lobby..... this one is on the 14th floor...<img src="http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn313/therealjipster/14thfloorlobby_2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Its not the most expensive hotel here.... there's always the Drake.... but old skool styling makes it very popular.
