There was a dana hotel here before, on this very spot, but a very different one — traditional, old-fashioned, maybe even classic, depending on who you ask. But that’s in the past now: the original dana has been pulled down, replaced by a brand-new tower of modern metal and glass, home to the new incarnation of the dana hotel and spa.
With over two hundred rooms it’s not small, but the look and the atmosphere are pure boutique, from the exclusivity of the nightspots to the forward-looking design in the guest rooms. Floor-to-ceiling windows make the bedrooms feel enormous, and the minimalist décor, including hand-hewn hardwood floors and bare concrete columns and ceilings, wisely doesn’t distract from the views. Best yet, a new building means no compromises when it comes to modern conveniences — not just high technology like LCD televisions and iPod docking stereos, but such concrete luxuries as fully enclosed shower rooms with overhead rain spouts.
The ground floor is given over to a full-service spa and fitness center, surely a big draw. But the dana’s main attraction is Vertigo, the open-air rooftop lounge. When the weather permits, Chicagoans go mad for a chance to socialize outdoors, so you can expect a very full house.
How to get there:
dana hotel and spa is located two blocks from the Chicago Ave. station on the red "L" line. Taxi prices range from $26-$45 from Midway Airport and $32-$48 from O’Hare.

What I liked:
Location was great. The lobby was nice and open. Doorman was very helpful.
What the hotel could do better:
Room was very small. The desk was propped up on the refrigerator. Shades were ripped. Wallpaper was pealing and was dog hair on the floor.

Good location, good feel. The concierge, Tim, was great! Room was very nice.
What the hotel could do better:
The hotel has a hot rooftop bar, and some of the staff attached to it have a lot of attitude. Service could be more polite.
