The Drake Hotel

The Drake, built in 1920 and a member of Historic Hotels of America® since 2014 was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. Historic Hotels of America is the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation® for recognizing and celebrating the finest historic hotels across America. Conceptualized by architect Benjamin Marshall, the Nation's first urban resort came to fruition on the cornerstone of the Magnificent Mile and Lake Shore Drive by brothers John and Tracy Drake. The Drake was known as a city within a city, complete with an array of leisure activities and luxurious amenities within its famed front doors, ensuring every guest received nothing less than The Drake Standard of hospitality. Nearly a century later, this hotel has boosted its prominence within Chicago's history, becoming known as high-society's first choice in opulence and luxury and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
