Averaging 890 square feet apiece, the [elaborate suites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mandarin-oriental-suite) at the Chicago Elysian feature SÉURA vanishing LCD television mirrors and touch screen VoIP telephones, as well as marble bathrooms, fireplaces, 460-thread count linens, urban kitchens, and outdoor terraces. Guests at the Chicago Elysian also receive complimentary national calling, wireless Internet, and international channeling.
