Acadia
Elegant and earthy fare in Chicago
VERIFIED LUXURY
We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

The success of
Chicago’s Acadia restaurant certainly isn’t due to its location. Situated on an unremarkable stretch of the South Loop, the orange brick one-story building looks like just any other anonymous concrete cubicle.
To chef Ryan McCaskey, however, the dissonant location is part of the point: You can find beauty wherever you look. Indeed, once you step inside, Acadia’s subdued colors, chill lounge music and stylish servers instantly transport you to an elegant, restrained contemporary American restaurant that melds the pastoral with the sublime.
