The LaSalle Chicago, Autograph Collection

The LaSalle Chicago sits on South LaSalle Street, housed within the architecture of the historic bank building that defines this corner of the financial district. It is a fifteen-minute walk from the Willis Tower, placing guests at a remove from the heavy tourism of the lakefront while keeping the grid of the city within easy reach.

While the surrounding area empties out after the markets close, this hotel remains the better choice for those who prefer the quiet weight of stone-clad halls over the glass-tower transparency of newer builds nearby. The room runs formal, leaning into the gravity of its address rather than chasing the energy of the park-adjacent hotels. If you want a stay that feels anchored to the city’s industrial history rather than its retail core, this is where you settle.
