Lonely Planet review for Reliance Building

With its 16 stories of shimmering glass, framed by brilliant white terra-cotta details, the Reliance Building is a breath of fresh air. The structure’s lightweight internal metal frame – much of which was erected in only 15 days – supports a glass facade that gives it a feeling of lightness, a style that didn’t become universal until after WWII. Today the Reliance houses the chic Hotel Burnham. Added historical bonus: Al Capone’s dentist drilled teeth in what’s now room 809.
