The Grande Dame of ChicagoWell, that's how it's billed on their website. In reality, it's more like ol' Delta Dawn's flower... a faded rose from days gone by. But, there's no denying the history, and it was like staying on an old movie set complete with doormen, crystal chandeliers, and the PumpRoom. I dined in the PumpRoom twice and never saw more than three occupied tables. However, you could spend an hour or two just looking at the photos of famous people from the 1940s 50s and 60s sitting in the famous Booth One. A big white 1930s vintage telephone sits on the Booth One table waiting for Frank Sinatra or Ava Gardner to take a call.
But.. I wasn't staying in the 1,400 sq ft Celebrity Suite!
