Clearly the most stately, tall building in Chicago, covered in granite from head to toe, it'll be the 4th tallest, right after Vista (Jeanne Gang) - which is practically next door. You may have seen the plans to build an external glass elevator (SW corner of the building) which will lead to a top level visiting area - for tourists and Yelpers alike. Looking North you have views of John Hancock, Trump Tower. Looking south and East - you have stunning views of Millennium Park, the curvature of the planet (view from the 80th floor), the lake, the Bean, etc. The parking garage below is so convenient but please allow time for security, which is good. Great restaurants and places to eat within this building - Starbucks, Market Thyme, AuBon Pain, Sopprafina and Jimmy Johns. The flags of our 50 states adorn the front area and there's a beautiful fountain out front. The lobby area is modern, yet inviting. It's also connected to the Pedway, so you can get to ORD (via the Blue-line) or other places in the loop, without ever having to be exposed to the elements. read more

Aon Center - Modern - Landmarks & Historical Buildings Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Its convenient that they have a shuttle service and I think their resident eateries are reasonable considering the Loop's average prices. Depending on the company though, the amenities and maintenance level if each floor will vary. Worked at multiple companies in this building, and must say that the higher floors do follow the perception of luxury. I'm.on the 7th floor... so yeah. read more

Wow view from the Aon Center. The view is just beautiful. There is almost no blockage. According to wiki, Aon Center is the third tallest building in Chicago. Lucky for me, that I was working in this office when I was in Chicago. So if you are a visitor, you need to register yourself or have your company register you before showing up. When you get to the building, head straight to the concierge to get a visitor badge. The visitor badge will get you through the gate. Also note that if your office is on an odd number floor you will need to head downstairs for the elevators. Main floor elevators are for even numbers. My colleague told me there are good food downstairs. Well yes if you are a healthy eater and love salad or sandwiches. For me nah. Aon Center is very nice. read more

The AON Center is a modern, nice building! Lots of restaurants in the basement (Dunkin Donuts, Jimmy Johns, Au Bon Pain, a convenience store, Market Thyme, etcetera), a post office, and a dry cleaners. The line for security (to get a badge or ask questions) can get long. If you have a badge, getting into the elevator area is painless, as you just scan and go. The downside to this building is the elevators. They can take a while and they have a button system where you have to select your floor BEFORE entering the elevator; once you push the button it will assign you an elevator. While inside, it is a double loading elevator so it's common to pause because the "upper deck [is] loading." While the elevators can be a pain, the reward at the top is the awesome view. Don't forget that from this building you can easily get to the Pedway! Get to and from both the CTA and the Metra in the winter without having to go outside. While going through the Pedway there are a lot of different places (a dive bar, popcorn place, Subway, Burger King, a yogurt place, public restrooms, Starbucks, and Chase ATMs). All in all this building is a great place to stop in. read more

Aon Center - View from the 76th floor! - Landmarks & Historical Buildings Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Nice facility for a conference! Killer views, good food and fast elevators - which is helpful if you're on the top floor. Security is tight so visitors have to check in each day with a photo id. It took me until day 3 to realize my visitor pass could scan to open the security gates to the elevators. (Duh!) read more

You cannot go up to any other level besides the lobby area unless you have an appointment. Was here last year with my hubby to visit an executive member of Kraft Heinz. I like their courtyard area is so unique and has lots of steps and marble all around. Not much to write about really just a normal business office but it was nice to see the city from up so high! read more

Their underground parking lot makes a great spot for those who are looking for cheap parking for Michigan avenue. There's probably multiple ways to reach it, but if you head north on michigan avenue and then turn right (head east) the middle lanes go down to the underside of Michigan Ave. there you'll see signs directing you to the AON Center Parking. If you get your car in before 6PM and out by 8AM the next day, its only $6! the line for the parking garage is rather long -- its like Fort Knox there; its only a one-lane entrance and they check every car's trunk and upon entering, they ask for your driver's license so they can scan it. Once inside, its easy to find parking. What sold me the most about this parking lot besides the $6 is they have water coolers throughout. So if you're tired or lost and can't find your car, you can rest assure you'll find water to quench your thirst. Inside, houses a lot of offices, obviously. I checked out the 6th and 9th floor and it's the typical depressing cubeland configuration. I'd give the office layout 0-stars, most of the stars of this review is for the parking lot. Cheers! read more

Annoying that I can't walk my dog to the other side. Everyone walks their dog through to the park on the other side, and when I am just passing through I get told to get off the property when there's a group of 5 skateboarders in front of the security guard??? The signs on either west or east entrance say nothing of dogs but they do skateboarders... why not make a dog friendly path since you are in the most obnoxious location.. just need a sidewalk... read more

One of Chicago's most beautiful buildings, simple and elegant. It is not normally open to the public, but at the time, it was an 'Open House Chicago' destination. read more

The AON Center began its life as the Standard Oil Building and then the Amoco Building. This monolithic tower is actually taller than the John Hancock Center, which appears taller thanks to its antennas (which do not count towards the official height of the building). The AON outdoor plazas are popular with the lunchtime crowd. read more

It's a beautiful building. I'm sure the company that rents the space and the crappy cubicle jobs suck. But the building is very elegant and beautiful. Less is more and like the Trade Center was in New York, this building is quite impressive on the Chicago skyline. read more

Aon Center - Aon Center, early morning, oil painting - Landmarks & Historical Buildings Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I work on the 69th floor of this towering behemoth, and after working in many other Chicago skyscrapers, this one is wonderful. Incredibly easy access to the Orange, Pink, Brown, Green and Purple lines at the Randolph/Wabash station just a three minute walk away, a plethora of cabs waiting at all times, and the park right across the street. The building has a ton of mediocre restaurants, and walking distance to some really, really sweet gems--oh, how I love you, Gourmet Pantry, what with your lobster bisque and Boar's Head sandwiches. Michigan Avenue is right there, so you can shop on breaks or just go for a walk, and you can even get down to the river bank at Wacker and Michigan to sit by the river and eat your lunch, waving at the tourists on boats as if you were an animal at the zoo. River North is also a short jaunt up Michigan, and the Art Institute is an easy five minute walk south. Really, work sucks, but this place takes away some of the pain with the prime location and a lot of different distractions in its labyrinth-like mall underground. Also, the view from up here is amazing. read more

I like this building. While other skyscrapers have phrases or words written with the window lights at night time, this one always seems to say HO.... and thats pretty sweet read more

What I would give to work in this building! Just give me a reason to be there everyday and I'm with it! As a little school teacher who ran away from corporate America, being in the AON center had me rethinking my career moves. Why, with the gorgeous marble walls, pleasant-as-can-be building staff, and eclectic tenants, the people who work in or frequent the center really never have to leave! Dining options are varied and plentiful with options including Starbucks (duh), Wildberry Pancakes & Cafe, and Sopraffina Marketplace. If you need to mail a letter, there's an app, I mean Post Office for that. Never made it home last night? You're in luck! There's also a cleaners in the center; your clothes will be so fresh and so clean in no time! I mean really, if schools were in buildings with all of these amenities, teachers would be much happier! I don't know that we'll ever return from marveling at gorgeous views from building or if students would ever make it to class, but still... read more

My friend Maryanna works here :) This building looks very similar to one of the twin towers. It's a constant reminder and makes me little sad every time I look at it. It's the 2ND tallest building in Chicago. I was told that John Hancock building was but I looked it up and this is it #2! Second to Sears tower. My first time here was somewhat intimidating because it was so big and it's like another community working and living here. I'm not sure exactly how many people working everyday but Maryanna told me that people work here 24 hours a day 7 day a week. Overall, place is very secure, awesome view of the millennium park, and you don't have to leave the building for lunch. They have 1000 different places to eat here. Crazy!! read more

The first time I went into this building was for an 80-floor stair climbing fundraiser for Children's Memorial Hospital (everyone should do it, it's called Step Up for Kids, go to the hospital's website for details!). I had such a great time - it was tiring, but truly amazing. It is the tallest building in the world, which does not have any antennae, spires, or finials at the top Once you've had enough of the height, you can come down and relax in the sunken plaza and enjoy the beautiful views of the city's skyline. read more

This build is historic indeed for many reasons. The outside courthards are something else. I have been to one of the offices here, once your past security checkpoints they will direct you to your destination. This is one of the tallest buildings in the world. read more

Half a year I used to work at this building, and I had no idea how many businesses are on the ground floor. My biggest problem working 9-5 was that I could never get to the post office before they closed nor dry cleaning. Luckily they have both of those and a shoe-shine shop right inside the building!! As for the food, there is a small breakfast and coffee place that literally was my breakfast every day, and Jimmy John's for lunch :) The Sopraffina Cafe is good, there are also plenty of other food options if you take the walkway to the building attached - Panda Express, Quiznos, Subway and more. The only downside is how everything is generally expensive in this building, but that comes with the cost of real estate when you're downtown on Randolph St. The building itself is awesome, good views, small couches/tables after the security checkpoint, and everyone is mostly well-dressed. read more

Wonderful attorney services. Dan Conidi goes the extra mile and works hard for his clients. You won't go wrong by retaining Dan!

Yes, please. To the men who work here: keep on smiling, laughing and wearing your suits. This girl truly appreciates it. To those who don't work here: don't despair! You can still enjoy the 9-5 eye candy by grabbing a coffee at the Starbucks in this building, or by trying an inexpensive lunch at the Sopraffina cafe. They are both on the ground floor. read more

Love working here. The security that work all the entrances are world class. Totally make my day everyday.

Beautiful building with small little restaurants inside to keep your belly happy!

I went here recently for a SharePoint Demo event. The entrance and navigation is confusing with various levels. The auditorium downstairs does not get good reception and the available internet was slow (under 6mbps download). Lighting could be better. read more
