Sep 07, 2012 Alright…here comes my obligatory “50 Shades of Grey” reference.
The Heathman Hotel, one of the locations in the steamy bestseller, was popular before it bonded with bondage.
Its historic Tea Court Lounge is located in the heart of the hotel and is a city landmark. With its selection of delicious teas patrons can enjoy a hot cup in a hotel that is now known for bringing the heat.

Though its reputation isn’t as sexy as Heathman’s, Julius Meini is well known in the Chicago neighborhood of Lakeview. With over 50 shades…I mean flavors of tea, lovely décor and live jazz on Fridays; it’s no slouch in the sensual ambiance department.
