Front Row to the Lake & Skyline: Epic 60th Flr 3BR
Guest rating: 5.0 / 5
Overview
Known as 'The Observatory,' this 3-bedroom residence sits on the 60th floor of a high-rise tower in South Chicago, offering sweeping, unobstructed views of Lake Michigan and the city skyline. Positioned within a full-amenity tower, it is designed as a top-tier, self-contained retreat rather than a standard hotel room. The unit is smoke-free and climate-controlled with both air conditioning and heating throughout.
Rooms & Living Space
The 3-bedroom layout includes a private balcony and patio for taking in the panoramic lake and skyline views. Comforts include a fireplace, cable TV, free Wi-Fi, an ironing board, and in-unit washer, making it suitable for extended stays. The space is arranged to feel like a residence, giving guests more room and privacy than a typical hotel suite.
Kitchen & Dining
A full kitchen is equipped with a microwave, oven, and stove, allowing guests to prepare meals in-house rather than relying solely on outside dining. This makes the unit practical for guests who prefer home-cooked meals or are staying for multiple days.
Amenities & Recreation
The building offers an outstanding suite of shared facilities, including both an indoor and an outdoor pool, a hot tub, a fitness center, and an outdoor grill for guests who want to cook and relax outdoors. An elevator provides access to the 60th-floor unit, and the tower is positioned to showcase both the city and lake from height.
Best for
This property suits travelers seeking a high-end, view-driven Chicago stay, such as groups or extended families needing three bedrooms and full kitchen facilities. It's also well suited to guests who value on-site recreation, given the indoor/outdoor pools, hot tub, and fitness center, and to those who simply want a memorable skyline and lake vantage point from the 60th floor.
Travel tips
Because the unit is on the 60th floor, guests should plan for elevator access and build in a little extra time when heading in and out of the building. With a full kitchen and grill available, it's worth a stop at a grocery store shortly after arrival to make the most of the in-unit dining options. As no specific nearby landmarks or transit stops are documented for this listing, guests should independently confirm walking distances to attractions and public transportation before finalizing plans.
