Tucked away in a largely residential neighborhood, the Ambassador East is an oasis of tranquility amidst the bustle of downtown Chicago. Its secluded location has made the hotel a popular retreat for celebrities, dignitaries and literary figures since the 1920s. The renowned Pump Room still ranks as one of Chicago’s most acclaimed restaurants. Just outside the door, visitors will find the stately "Gold Coast" neighborhood, world-class shopping on the famous "Magnificent Mile", the attractions of Lake Michigan and the nightlife on Division Street.

The hotel’s "author" suite has hosted signings by some of America’s best known authors, including Maya Angelou and John Grisham.
