Drake, or commonly referred to as 'The Drake', is a famous historical hotel on the Magnificent Mile in Chicago, IL. It has hosted the world's leaders, politicians, royal families, business and entrepreneur elites, famous actors, actresses and musicians. U.S.A. presidential candidates have been announced there, as have Cardinals of Vatican, with the Pope included, meet to discuss Catholicism and relations amongst the religions and people worldwide. It's one of Chicago's most famous landmarks, built as one of the first still standing original steal framed structures after the Chicago Fire, burning the majority of the city.

"Chicago is a city where you walk past historical architectural landmark after landmark. It is a strange notion that without buildings like The Drake, the world of architecture would not be where is today. The advancements that were made in Chicago would not be anywhere if the intelligent and man power did not dare to dream out of the masonry blocks that were unable to scrape the skies"
