The Marriott Downtown Chicago

Your prom may be a distant hazy memory, but, if it's springtime, prepare to be surrounded by a continual stream of dressed-to-the-nines high school prom-goers at this corporate downtown hotel. At least they'll be sauntering through the recently renovated and expanded lobby and ballroom areas. The rooms have undergone a recent renovation and the updated Lobby Bar will also be expanding this year. Italian restaurant Ventoso offers classic, failsafe fare.
