Announced yesterday, in the 24th Annual Conde Nast Traveler Reader's Choice Awards, Chi-town's own Elysian Hotel Chicago was named the #1 hotel in the U.S. Thats right, #1. In second place was the 21c Museum Hotel in Louisville and in a respectable third, The Peninsula Chicago. The hotel awards are based on the quality of rooms, service, food/dining, location, and overall design. [Racked Wire]
