Coq D’Or - This intimate lounge is a throwback to its Prohibition past, with dim lighting, low ceilings, and brick-red leather booths and bar stools. Martinis are the drink specialty, and a short menu features dishes from the Cape Cod Room, including clam chowder and whitefish. Lunch and dinner are served every day, and evenings are lively with a jazz band performing each night.

Palm Court - Meeting at this lovely spot in the hotel’s upper lobby is a Chicago tradition. Countless travelers and locals have joined friends and business associates by the antique marble fountain for cocktails, coffee, or a traditional English tea.
