All good shops, but all fairly tough to reach from the Mag Mile. Cycle Smithy on North Clark, or Kozy's on the near West Side are easier trips from the Near North Side.
My sister likes to fly in from New York with her son a few times a year. She has stayed at, among others, the Four Seasons, The Trump, and the Marriott (blah!).
The one I liked best is the Sofitel-Chicago:
Sofitel Chicago Water Tower - Luxury Hotel Chicago
It is a marvelous new building and the French just seem to know how to do hotels right.
