My suite at the James Chicago had a white leather sofa, an insanely comfortable bed, and Kiehl’s bath products (the shampoo smelled like coconut!) But the best part was the screening room—an alcove with a bed-like lounge area and a projector. So, on our last night in Chicago, I invited the other girls over for a movie night…
I rented four French films: Paris, Je T’Aime; Belle de Jour; La Vie En Rose, and My Wife is an Actress (I have a girl crush on Charlotte Gainsbourg).
And we ordered a funny special from the room-service menu: Two beaters covered in chocolate frosting (what a childhood flashback!) and a warm red velvet cake with cream-cheese icing and vanilla ice cream. Yum.
P.S. We adored the James Chicago and its bright rooms, modern aesthetic and cheerful staff. And, seriously, the beds were ridiculous. I’d highly recommend it for anyone planning a Chicago getaway. xo
