44% off (Sale price $60.00, Reg. Price $107.88) :: Property at a Glance: Freehand ChicagoFreehand Chicago is a hip boutique hotel in Chicago’s popular River North neighborhood. Close to everything, Freehand is two blocks from the famed Magnificent Mile and steps away from the CTA Red Line station and bus routes. Locals probably know it best as the location of The Broken Shaker, an offshoot of the James Beard Award-nominated cocktail bar in Miami. The Windy City iteration landed on Eater Chicago’s “Where to Drink Right Now” map, thanks in part to its creative cocktails and delicious bar food. Truly upscale design: Guest rooms were created by heralded interior designers Roman and Williams who have worked for Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Hudson. The press says: Chicago magazine says the “Freehand probably isn’t like anything you’ve ever seen before” and that it ”should be on your Chicago hotel bucket list.” Wake up with a coffee from Café Integral, the onsite coffee roaster. The café offers Nicaraguan coffee and Midwest-influenced comfort food. Within 1 mile: Michigan Avenue (a.k.a. “The Magnificent Mile”), the Hancock Building, the Chicago Theatre, Millennium Park, and the Art Institute of ChicagoStreets, occupying century-old red-brick warehouses that have been converted into lofts and exhibition spaces.
