The Peninsula Chicago is a 20-story luxury hotel located at the intersection of East Superior Street and North Michigan Avenue in Chicago, Illinois. The hotel is part of The Peninsula Hotels group based in Hong Kong. In late 2009 the hotel was purchased by Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels who previously owned 92.5% of the hotel before the takeover. In 2004 the hotel won three major awards: Travel + Leisure Magazine's award for #1 Hotel in North America, the Zagat award for #1 Hotel in North America, and Forbes magazine awarded it with the Best Hotel Bar in the World. The Peninsula is one of only four 5-star hotels in Chicago, the others being the Four Seasons Hotel Chicago,the Ritz-Carlton Chicago at Water Tower Place, and Trump Tower Chicago. As of March 2017 rates at The Peninsula range from $374 to $8,500 per night.

Due to the hotel's proximity to Chicago's most famous retail street, The Magnificent Mile (Michigan Avenue), the building is close to many famous brands like Cartier, Giorgio Armani and Louis Vuitton. As with most hotels in the area, the bottom floors are occupied by retailers, in this case Tiffany & Co., Ralph Lauren and Banana Republic. The hotel is also very close to several tourist attractions such as the Chicago Water Tower, the John Hancock Center and American Girl Store. The hotel is about 30–60 minutes from the two main Chicago airports depending on traffic. The closest 'L' station to the hotel is the Chicago station on the Red Line which is a 5-minute walk away.
