Chicago hotel opens hypoallergenic suite

Allergies be damned at The Four Seasons Hotel Chicago! The luxury hotel just unveiled its new suites, including the Hypoallergenic Suite.

The suite comes complete with hardwood floors, special bedding and toiletries and shades instead of curtains, to help reduce dust and allergens.

Lest you think the suite is full of plastic couch coverings and synthetic materials, enter Pierre Yves Rochon, the designer of the allergy-free hotel room who ensured that all guests staying in the suite are treated to the same luxury amenities as all the other rooms. In addition, the guest room – which features stunning views of Lake Michigan – is cleaned with allergenic free solutions, ensuring a clear stay.

What do you think? Would you choose a hypo-allergenic room over a standard room, if the price was the same?
