Set in Chicago's Reliance Building, Hotel Burnham offers exceptional Chicago accommodations that balance modern comforts with a historic setting. Designed by Chicago architect Daniel Burnham and built in 1895, the Reliance Building was the predecessor to the modern skyscraper. Over time, it fell into disrepair, until 1999, when the City of Chicago created a unique public-private partnership, and with the help of developers and Kimpton Hotels, brought the building back to life. Now, vivid mosaic floors, red marble walls and filigreed elevator grills replicate the original building. Other architectural details combine to create extraordinary Chicago accommodations, including mahogany panels and columns, and a two-story mural depicting the 1893 Columbian Exposition. The classic club aesthetic continues in our inviting lobby living room, providing a luxurious and elegant setting from which to begin your Chicago adventure.
