The Tremont Hotel just off North Michigan Avenue along the famed Magnificent Mile is within easy access of Chicago's business district, yet offers walking convenience to the finest shopping, dining, theater and nightlife in Chicago. Guests are one block from the pulsating nightlife on Rush Street and four blocks from the biking, jogging, walking and skating opportunities on Lake Michigan's shoreline. The European style hotel is home to Mike Ditka's, the restaurant owned by the hard nosed former coach of Da Bears, as the football team is lovingly known around these parts. The restaurant offers inventive American cuisine, and features football what else? memorabilia, big screen TV, cigar lounge and live piano music. Guests also can work out in Tremont's fitness room and pamper themselves in the sauna and with massage treatments. Guest rooms come complete with cheerful, residential style décor, including bright yellow wallpaper and bedspreads, dark wood armoires, floral curtains and deep green carpeting. Additional amenities include VCRs, CD players and safes. With ornate moldings and flower beds, the Tremont Hotel resembles an elegant old apartment building and tends to attract guests inclined to shopping and sightseeing. By the way, see that big, beefy guy at the bar chewing on a cigar? Don't mess with him. That's Mike Ditka. They don't call him Iron Mike for nothing. But guests who want to be like Mike when dining at Ditka's can order the coach's favorite Da Pork Chop, roasted garlic au jus with warm cinnamon apples, spinach, Spaetzle and green peppercorns.
