Whether you plan to kick-back at Oak Street Beach or shop-til-you-drop along The Magnificent Mile (we recommend Uniqlo or North Shore Exchange for more eco-minded fashion), The Talbott Hotel boasts some sustainability practices as admirable as its prime location in the city. Its “Sustainability Without Compromise” ethos informs practices like the hotel’s investment in wind energy credits to offset 100 percent of its carbon footprint, or an optional “eco-mode” one-touch button, which guests can use to alert staff they only want bed and bath linens replaced every other day and will allow the room temperature to adjust within eight degrees while they are out.
