    Time Out Chicago / Issue 156 : Feb 21–27, 2008
    Just opened

    Cityscape

    Photo: Jeremy Bolen

    ROOM WITH A VIEW There was only one option, really: When the owners of Holiday Inn Mart Plaza decided that part of its $25 million rehab would include putting a bar on the 15th floor, it was obvious that bar would need a good view. So they did what anybody with a multimillion-dollar budget would do: knocked down all the walls in the place and replaced them with floor-to-ceiling windows. But the appropriately named Cityscape is more than just a pretty vantage point. The mod, white-on-white decor isn’t bad to look at, either, and the drinks program focuses on organic beers and wines. (Hey, the rest of that money had to be used somewhere…) 350 W Mart Center Dr at Orleans St (312-836-5000).
