Sixty-two floors above Chicago, this apartment offers the kind of perspective that reframes the city entirely – lake and skyline stretching to the horizon through floor-to-ceiling corner windows, and a private balcony to step out into it all. The building's amenities are substantial, with an indoor pool beneath soaring glass, a boxing studio, golf simulator, and a seventy-third-floor sky deck. When you're ready to explore, the Art Institute of Chicago is a fourteen-minute walk, and Millennium Park – home to Cloud Gate – is twenty minutes on foot.

• There's no free parking at this home, but your host can arrange paid parking, subject to availability – this must be reserved in advance.$100 / night
