Chicago's Most Romantic Hotels

Couples who appreciate excellent service, chic accommodations and outstanding comfort will find that the Waldorf Astoria Chicago delivers on all three. Although it's one of the city's most expensive hotels, it also won't nickel-and-dime you. The no-tipping policy is a reprieve from having to dip into your pocket every time you deal with a staffer. And there's even a house car to drive you to your choice of location within two miles of the property.
