The Elysian Hotel was named Conde Nast Traveler's 2011 ;Reader's Choice Top Hotel(#7 overall) in the United States. The event was held at the Edison Ballroom in New York City. Christine Baranski and Chris Noth of The Good Wife were the host for the evening. If you've never been to the Elysian, its a must! If not to spend the night in their luxurious hotel suites, grab a drink at Bernard's bar, a dinner date at Balsan or Ria or the Spa at The Elysian, you can marvel at the elegant foyer. The best compliment came from designer Prabal Gurung over the Summer when he stayed at the hotel during the 10th year anniversary festivities for Ikram. The Peninsula Hotel Chicago was rated number 3, Park Hyatt Chicago was rated 11 top hotel in the United States. Congratulations to all the hardworking staff that work behind the scenes to help their guests have memorable experiences.
