At check-in, stylish front desk staff dispense warm chocolate chip cookies along with insider advice on the night-life. Some of the more artful touches include the lobby's anime-inspired mural of a woman morphing into a phoenix (a reference to the Great Chicago Fire); chandeliers that appear held aloft by white angel wings and mirrored elevator walls and hallway carpets are tattooed in bold floral cutout patterns.
