Chicago: Signature Lounge

No trip to Chicago is complete without at least one observatory experience. There are two options here in the Windy City: the Hancock or Willis Tower (formerly known as Sears Tower). Observatory tickets cost around $15 to $16. The Hancock Observatory is located on the 94th floor, but why settle for that when you can go up to the Signature Room on the 95h or the Signature Lounge on the 96th?

I usually take my friends up to the Signature Lounge:



Drinks aren't exactly cheap, but it's basically paying the price of an observatory ticket, getting a drink, and being two floors higher. Why not?

I'm not much of a drinker, so I took the coward's way out by getting water. But my friends' drinks looked pretty:



It can get pretty noisy up there, but the view is definitely worth it. Of course, ideally you'd want a seat by the window, but really, you can see the view from anywhere in the lounge. For the Signature Room, on the other hand, you'll really want to reserve a table by the window. Chicago is really pretty from above:



Just a little something extra for the ladies, we get a nice viewing spot from the restroom. Guys, not so lucky. So if you can't score a window seat, don't be ashamed to take some pictures from the restroom:
