Get an Old Chicago vibe, and breakfast with a view, at LondonHouse

The building sits right on the Chicago River and the rooftop terrace has some spectacular views.
This fall, guests booking the Breakfast and Wi-Fi rate (about $30 more than the prevailing rate at last check) will get buffet breakfast for two each morning (kids 5 and under eat free with adults) as well as premium in-room Wi-Fi.
