Why you should go…

Perched on the 94th floor of the former John Hancock Center, 360 CHICAGO serves up arguably the city's best vantage point, lake on one side, skyline on the other. Brave the TILT platform, which tips you outward over the Magnificent Mile, or just sip a drink in the sky-high bar at sunset.
