Waldorf Astoria Chicago, Luxury hotel in Gold Coast area, Chicago, US
The Waldorf Astoria Chicago rises 209 meters into the sky with 60 floors of hotel rooms and private condominiums in a limestone exterior structure.
The building, which opened in 2010 under the name Elysian Hotel Chicago, underwent rebranding to Waldorf Astoria Chicago in February 2012 following acquisition by Hilton Hotels.
The structure incorporates 1920s European architectural elements, including stone colonnades, ornate spires, and a motor court entrance with patterned cobblestones.
