“Hotel Emc2 distinguishes itself with an art-meets-science theme and robotic attendants, a concept that mostly seems to work. The Streeterville location puts guests near Michigan Avenue, and the in-house dining, The Albert, experiments with molecular gastronomy. While some rooms feel smaller than expected, the hotel's tech-forward approach makes it a memorable option in downtown Chicago.”
