The Hancock Tower Signature Room
One of the most spectacular views of Chicago is from the top of the Hancock Tower. Sears Tower is taller than Hancock Tower but much closer to the lake. The Hancock Tower offers a view of the Sears Tower and the Hancock Tower. Instead of going up to the observation deck, take a detour to the Signature Room. You might run into Chicagoans at brunch. Drink prices are similar to other rooms, so a drink may be a good option. Dinner, however, costs a bit more. In the restaurant, which is located one floor above the observation deck, you can enjoy breathtaking views while you eat and drink. Michigan Avenue
