Reply #9: The Soho Metropolitan was WONDERFUL.

[fudge stripe cookays]

We stayed there last October (2003), and it's very luxurious. Heated floors in the bathroom, wonderfully soft linens, and very comfortable.

There's a hip martini bar in the lobby, and a nice cafe for breakfast.

Right next door to Second City with a great Italian restaurant (our waiter saw my anti-Bush stuff and we had a great conversation-- and the pizza was wonderful.) It's also kitty corner from Wayne Gretzsky's place. And a short walk to some of the entertainment spots (very close to the Black Bull Pub, and not too far from shopping, the Hard Rock, etc)

Have fun!
