InterContinental Chicago Magnificent Mile, an IHG Hotel, 4-star hotel in Chicago's Magnificent Mile, part of IHG Hotels
The InterContinental Chicago Magnificent Mile is a hotel in a 1929 building that was originally an exclusive social club. The property contains nearly 800 rooms split across two towers, with one tower dating to the original construction and the other added in 1961.
The building opened in 1929 as the Medinah Athletic Club for wealthy members. Following the stock market crash that year, the club closed in 1934, and the building later became a hotel that InterContinental Hotel Group acquired in 1987.
The name comes from the hotel's location on Michigan Avenue, known as the Magnificent Mile for its shops and famous buildings. The space preserves its past as an exclusive social club through interior details like wood finishes, chandeliers, and stained glass windows that guests can see and walk past during their stay.
The hotel sits on Michigan Avenue with many rooms offering views of the city and Chicago River. Guests can walk to attractions like architecture boat tours, Navy Pier, and Millennium Park from the property.
The hotel features a striking swimming pool on the 14th floor designed like an Olympic-sized basin with large colorful tiles. Originally part of the athletic club, this pool remains an elegant retreat with lounge chairs and city views that many guests enjoy.
