Mies van der Rohe's IBM Building repurposed as Chicago's most architecturally significant luxury hotel — the Chuan Spa, river and city views from every room, and an interior that honours the building's modernist heritage without compromising on comfort.
XRED EYEZ Guide Note
The Langham's Chuan Spa is the best hotel spa in Chicago. Book the Chuan body treatment — it's a full recovery experience.
Grant Achatz's three-Michelin-star temple of modernist cuisine — edible helium balloons, tablecloth desserts, and multi-hour tasting menus that redefine what a meal can be. Consistently ranked among the world's 50 best restaurants for two decades.
Chef Niki Nakayama's Michelin two-star kaiseki in West LA — the most rigorous Japanese tasting menu in America. Seasonal, deeply personal, and notoriously difficult to book. A once-in-a-city dining experience.
Eric Ripert's Michelin three-star seafood temple — the greatest fish restaurant in America, arguably the world. Thirty-plus years at the absolute top of New York dining. The tasting menu is a lesson in restraint and precision.
