Join us for an engaging exploration of the rich history, architecture, and cultural impact of iconic Chicago hotels along North Michigan Avenue. Each session highlights a landmark property: the InterContinental Chicago Magnificent Mile, the Allerton Hotel, and the Millennium Knickerbocker Hotel. In our discussions we will examine the origins, notable guests, architectural styles, roles in shaping Chicago’s social history, and their connections to themes from the city’s Gilded Age and Jazz Age. Week 4 culminates in a guided walking tour that visits all three hotels, concluding with a stop at the historic Drake Hotel for a contextual discussion and optional refreshments. This course is ideal for history enthusiasts, architecture lovers, and anyone interested in Chicago’s vibrant past.
