In a city known for its extraordinary architecture, vibrant jazz scene, and exceptional food, InterContinental Chicago Magnificent Mile is the crown jewel. Steps away from Chicago's best shopping and restaurants—including our award-winning Michael Jordan’s Steak House—our historic luxury hotel is where contemporary meets classic. Let our original marble columns, painted ceilings, cast-bronze friezes, and grand staircase will transport you back to the grandeur of the Roaring Twenties.

The Intercontinental Hotel is the only downtown hotel with a front entrance onto the Magnificent Mile, and it’s a quick walk to the pier and exclusive shops and stops that a savvy traveler will want to visit, such as the Museum of Contemporary Art, the aquarium and Water Tower Place.

The hotel is a stunning historical landmark, and you’ll sense that as soon as you walk through the dramatic gold entrance into the four-story lobby. This five-star hotel will be the perfect backdrop to igniting creativity, connections, and collaborations.

We have negotiated a special rate for Cre8tive Con attendees for the price of $159 + taxes/ per night.
