A spectacular view is a given from almost any part of the Signature Room on the Hancock's 95th floor or Signature Lounge on the 96th. The two areas are separated by a central staircase in the middle of the high-ceilinged dining room; both are directly accessible via elevator. The theme throughout is elegant Art Deco, with dark wood, marble tile and accent lighting. The Signature Room is enhanced with white tablecloths, votive candles and live piano music Friday through Sunday. An impressive wine selection is showcased in a glass cabinet by the waiting area. Ascend the stairs and stroll back to the Lounge, with its incredible south and west views of the city. The island bar also features a civilized touch: raised seating on one side, with standard lounge chairs instead of bar stools, for folks who like to keep both feet on the ground even when they're 96 floors over the city. Back in the dining room, the views are primarily of the lake and of Navy Pier, in all its illuminated excess.
