Top 10 Hotels: U.S. Business
 1. Park Hyatt Chicago
Black leather Eames chairs and Mies van der Rohe desks fuse function and style in guestrooms at Chicago’s Park Hyatt. Rooms sport the latest technology (iPod connectivity, four dual-line phones, flat-screen TVs), and power diners fill the seventh-floor restaurant NoMI. Yet such a masculine hotel knows when to ease up, hiring noted aroma designer Chandler Burr to scent the hotel and pouring rare, vintage pu-erh teas. (800) 233-1234 or (312) 335-1234, www.chicago.park.hyatt.com
2. Four Seasons Resort and Club Dallas at Las Colinas
Guests applaud the Four Seasons’ 40 new villas that include 200 square feet of extra space and great views overlooking the popular TPC golf course, which is undergoing a major redesign. Five-time-or-more repeat guests can check in curbside when they arrive, and the hotel offers room-service menus in their Town Cars, allowing busy travelers to order while commuting. Making news is the bold new dinner menu by executive chef Christof Syré and chef de cuisine Katie Natale. Also look for a new lobby design late this summer along with flat-screen televisions in the guestrooms. (800) 819-5053 or (972) 717-0700, www.fourseasons.com/dallas
