We're planning our second annual list of Chicago's Hippest Hotels later this year, and we want your recommendations. Here are the 16 we named last year (Part I and Part II). But so many new, hip contenders have entered the fray, like the ultra-luxury Langham, Starwood's Aloft, and Thompson Chicago, which features Paul Kahan's Nico. Which are your favorites? What do you like about them? Do suggest a different order from last year's rankings? Send comments about cool design, food, mood, and scene to marissa.oberlander@bisnow.com. Write anonymously, or let us know if you want your name used. Stay tuned for our rankings!
