This went under a major renovation a few years ago and is now called Public Hotel. I've heard that a few people got miffed as they took out the dark mahogony walls and now everything is white. It's gorgeous inside though and has an excellent location, as you are a ten minute walk to the Magnificant Mile and Lake Michigan. The rooms are also white, very modern ($50 if you can figure out how to turn the lights on within 5 minutes). There is also a lounge/bar called Pump Room, famous back in the 50's and 60's and I'm told now attracts the most beautiful women in town on Friday and Saturday nights.
