Staypineapple Chicago
1 W. Washington St.
In a city known for world-ranking skyscrapers, the 14-story Reliance Building seems downright shrimpy, but more than a century ago it boasted a state-of-the-art design. Its large plate-glass windows predicted the soaring glass-and-steel towers of today, although its signature white terra cotta cladding betrays its 19th-century origins. Having fallen into disrepair in the mid-1900s, the Reliance Building has been restored and now houses a ® boutique hotel: Staypineapple Chicago. Guests here can step from the elegant lobby right into the heart of the action in Chicago’s Loop.
