The Modern

Chicago Illinois

Set beside the Chicago river, 330 North Wabash is the last building that Mies van der Rohe built in our fair city. With a sparkling 360° view of the city and even a recent star turn, acting as the location for Wayne International Headquarters in the latest in the Batman franchise, 'The Dark Knight,' we have a special place in our heart for the 330 building and can’t wait for the luxury hotel that we’re planning for floors 2-13 to open its doors in 2010.

We love Gibson’s when we’re in the mood for a great steak, but when we want a great steak with a view, we head straight to Smith and Wollensky. Order the bone-in ribeye, watch the ferry boats glide down the River and realize a true nirvana of the senses.

Sign up for the “skyscraper canyon” paddle and enjoy a trip down the Chicago River. Paddle through downtown past the Sears Tower, River City and the Pagoda in the Park before landing at Lawrence's Fish in Chinatown.
