Chicago hotel rooms don’t come cheap, so when you’re paying for a suite, the tub better be worth it. The best private tub suites in this city range from freestanding marble soakers with Lake Michigan views to deep Japanese-style baths you can sink into after a long day on the Magnificent Mile. Some have fireplaces across the room, a few have city skylines framed through floor-to-ceiling glass, and one boutique B&B in Lincoln Park throws in a private grotto for good measure. Here’s where couples are actually booking.
