Introduction

The John Hancock Center is one of Chicago's most recognizable skyscrapers, completed in 1969, 344m tall with 100 floors, designed by Bruce Graham with Walter Netsch. The tower is famed for its X-braced exterior of aluminum and glass and stainless steel cladding, with the 360 Chicago observation deck on the 94th floor offering the city's best panoramic views. From the deck you see Lake Michigan, Grant Park, Navy Pier, and the Willis Tower, and on clear days four state borders. The unique X-shaped floor plan gives every office corner views, a classic of 20th-century modernist office architecture. The top floor Signature Room is Chicago's finest fine dining, letting guests dine while overlooking the city.
