Daniel Burnham designed this building, a harbinger to the modern day skyscraper, in 1894 with partners John Root and Charles Atwood. Burnham's oft-quoted slogan, "Make no small plans," most certainly applies to the hotel that now resides in the building and bears his name. What this small hotel lacks in size it more than makes up for in charm and grace. The terra-cotta facade positively gleams. Inside, the marble walls, mosaic tile floors and sculpted cast iron stairways are reminiscent of a more glamorous era. The guest rooms have an air of romance, with crushed velvet pillow shams and gauze-hung canopy beds. The hotel, with its 122 beautiful rooms, is perfect for both the business traveler looking for something different or for couples seeking a romantic getaway. If you're in Chicago on business you'll want to know that the Burnham is about a 12-minute taxi ride from the McCormick Place Convention Center.
