The photograph was taken from the rooftop bar of the Ace Chicago Boutique Hotel.  If I had guests in town, I might suggest staying here.  It is a little off the beaten path if the Michigan Avenue, Lake Michigan, and Millennium Park are your destinations, but they are all a relatively quick "L" or cab ride away.  One thing is for sure, this neighborhood is now restaurant central.
