The Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile, formerly named the Sofitel Chicago Water Tower, opened in 2002 in the Gold Coast neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois.  As a professional architectural photographer in Chicago with an array of quality, pro lenses purchased specifically for photographing architecture, Miller + Miller Photography team was looking forward to the challenge of photographing the Sofitel and its unique architecture.  As a Chicago Hotel Photographer team, photographing the modern Chicago hotel building was yes a challenge, but has been known to be somewhat difficult for the novice photographer, due to not only the skyscraper’s height but proximity to its neighboring, soaring Chicago buildings adjacent.

The Sofitel Hotel’s exterior building shape is a triangular prism sitting on a square piece of land, with acute angles cutting into the air like the prow of a majestic ship.  Located in the historic district of Chicago crowded with perpendicular skyscrapers, the challenge was to photograph this modern luxury hotel from the street level, in a way that captures the building both flattering to the eye and imagination.  All accomplished with our 10+ years of experience, strategy, and architectural specialty, professional photography lenses.  For one of the images, we were able to include in one photograph both the Sofitel and the Waldorf Astoria hotel skyscrapers together, in one photographed shot.  A somewhat tricky shot to compose with the two hotel’s locations blocks away from one another.

The impressive Sofitel was architecturally designed by French architect Jean-Paul Viguier.  Photos of the southern façade of the hotel building projects into the sky with a unique knifelike edge extending 33 feet over the East Chestnut Street sidewalk. The iconic building design has been honored within a list of America’s Favorite Architecture by the American Institute of Architects.  The unique hotel design is a 32-floor prism of glass featuring stunning views of Lake Michigan and the Chicago skyline.  A modern, Chicago luxury hotel skyscraper building, the Sofitel’s Gold Coast neighborhood boasts several hospitality establishments and luxury hotels.  The hotel’s downtown area is steps from dynamic shopping, restaurants, nightlife and museums.  A popular area of Chicago for travelers & tourists to stay downtown, the Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile hotel’s prime location is minutes away from the Magnificent Mile, Millennium Park, Navy Pier and more iconic parts of our famous Windy City.

Donald Trump’s Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago changed the landscape of Chicago’s skyline.  Currently one of the City’s newest skyscraper condo-hotels, it is located in Chicago’s River North Gallery District.  The multi-use commercial, hospitality and residential landmark rises 92 stories high.  Located just steps from the Magnificent Mile and ideally located the North side of the Chicago River with clear Eastern views of Lake Michigan.  It’s urban location is West of the Wrigley Building and just East of the iconic Marina City. Hat’s off to Bill Rancic of Donald Trump’s hit TV show’s The Apprentice for managing the construction of this iconic Chicago River building. It has to be rewarding for Bill & wife Giuliana DePandi (Former E! entertainment News anchor co-host) to see such an iconic building in the heart of Chicago that he helped develop.
