An ultra-luxury Forbes Five-Star hotel occupying the iconic former IBM Building designed by Mies van der Rohe, featuring panoramic Chicago River and skyline views, the acclaimed Travelle restaurant, and the award-winning Chuan Spa.
The Langham Chicago occupies the upper floors of the iconic IBM Building, a 1971 modernist tower at 330 N Wabash Avenue in Streeterville, Illinois, designed by Mies van der Rohe. The hotel's Streeterville location places guests within easy walking distance of the Chicago River, Millennium Park, Navy Pier, and the Magnificent Mile shopping corridor, with the Wabash Avenue CTA station just steps away. The building's dark glass facade and open lobby atrium have defined Chicago's skyline for decades, and the Langham has seamlessly blended that architectural legacy with contemporary ultra-luxury hospitality since opening in 2013.
Rooms and suites feature panoramic views of the Chicago River and downtown skyline, with décor that references the building's Bauhaus roots through clean lines and curated modern furnishings. Guests can choose from over 300 rooms and suites, with the Langham Suites offering separate living areas, butler pantries, and river-facing arrangements. The hotel's crown jewel amenity is the Chuan Spa, which draws on traditional Chinese wellness principles and offers a heated pool, hydrotherapy facilities, and a full menu of Eastern and Western treatments. An adjacent fitness center is open around the clock.
Dining centers on Travelle at The Langham, a signature restaurant helmed by a culinary team offering farm-to-table American cuisine alongside a locally curated wine and cocktail program. The Pavilion lounge presents afternoon tea service in a tradition carried across all Langham properties worldwide, with seasonal pastries and finger sandwiches served in an elegant riverside setting. For those attending corporate events, the hotel's expansive meetings and event spaces are equipped with advanced AV capabilities and a dedicated concierge team.
Service at The Langham Chicago is genuinely personalized: Forbes Five-Star recognition reflects the property's commitment to anticipatory staff attention, with every arrival met by name. The concierge team excels at securing reservations at Chicago's most sought-after restaurants and arranging private architectural boat tours on the Chicago River directly below the hotel.
