Quick Verdict: The Langham, Chicago vs Four Seasons Hotel Chicago

When The Langham, Chicago wins: choose The Langham if you want riverfront rooms inside a Mies van der Rohe landmark, a strong focus on spa and wellness (Chuan Spa), and a quieter riverbank feel a short walk from the Magnificent Mile.

When Four Seasons Hotel Chicago wins: pick the Four Seasons for a central Michigan Avenue location, more lake-view room options, and the predictability of a long-established global five-star brand with extensive meeting space.

Bottom line: both are five-star downtown choices; prefer The Langham for architecture and spa-focused stays, and the Four Seasons for classic Magnificent Mile convenience and a broader set of lake-view room types.
