    It IS easy being green! At least at Emerald it is. These twin towers of eco-friendly condos on the east edge of Chicago'ss hot, hot, hot West Loop neighborhood offer a calm, relaxing retreat in the middle of the urban jungle. Decorated in a variety of natural greens and recycled materials, the lobby (with 2-story glass atrium), bar/lounge and boardroom are conscious common areas just steps from Restaurant Row, Greektown, The Loop and the financial district.

    We may have lost the Olympics for 2016, but we're still kicking. A Chicago girl through and through, I love keeping up on the latest hip places in the city. That's why I love the Wit Hotel in Chicago, the hippest spot in town since it opened in May. This boutique Doubletree Hotel has become renowned for its bold yellow diagonals through the height of the building, and angular roof, a nod to the reputation of the Windy City. Inside, you'll find a very comfortable contemporary setting, with bold color combinations, which simultaneously make the senses come alive and calm. The fun details are where it's at of course - including the luxurious movie style SCREEN theater room, and the infamous ROOF bar, which has quickly become a destination for the stylish in the city. Located in the city's Theater District, you'll get the best of downtown Chicago! Come visit, but in the mean time, check out the slideshow for a taste of the Wit Hotel!
