BEST BOUTIQUE HOTEL

When the 215-roomed Amalfi Hotel reopened as Kinzie Hotel, it became the kind of classy joint that offers a glass of Champagne when you check in to your generously sized room, and a gratis breakfast before you check out. Every other hotel in town, take note: It’s time to step up your game. Rooms start around $267, 20 W. Kinzie; Kinziehotel.com — M.N.
