You could easily spend all day there in unperturbed bliss-while waiting for my spa appointment, I overheard a woman check in for her 9 a.m.
But what stunned me most on my first visit was the fact that it’s rarely crowded.

This high-rise hotel might be home to the city’s best-kept secret: a sprawling, 80-foot pool some 19 floors up, with floor-to-ceiling windows and a view you can’t peel your eyes from. Spread over a whopping 20,000 square feet, the rooftop Offshore is a scenic spot for a cocktail-including frozen offerings-complimented by a covers-all-bases menu running from tuna tartare and raw oysters to burgers and ribs. Navy Pier has not traditionally been a foodie destination, but the hotel upgrades your choices beginning with Lirica, the ground floor restaurant that spills out onto the pier serving pan-Latin surf and turf in dishes like Mexican shrimp cocktail and Argentine beef empanadas. Brass accents and curved lines channel classic ship design, and floor-to-ceiling windows flood the rooms with light. Taking their cue from Lake Michigan, the hotel’s 223 rooms channel the Great Lake in a marine blue and whitecap color scheme with pale driftwood and sand tones in furniture and fixtures. The glass exterior brings the outside into the building, and cleverly quotes nautical design.
Named for a ship stationed at Navy Pier during World War II, the Sable has the most enviable tourist location, anchored on the far end of the 3,300-foot-long pier looking back at the city skyline.
