“Stepping into this hotel is like stepping back in time, yet with a welcome measure of modern comfort; it's easy to see why F. Scott Fitzgerald found inspiration here. I appreciated the hotel's dedication to its history, complete with a knowledgeable historian and even hidden passageways linked to Al Capone. The bourbon bar is not to be missed, and the ballrooms, tastefully updated, would make any event feel special.”
