The Drake Hotel Framed Print by Maggie Caravello

Created from an original watercolor by Maggie Caravello, this print is a quiet homage to The Drake, one of Chicago’s most storied icons. Poised at the edge of Michigan Avenue, the scene captures the hotel’s old-world glamour and enduring elegance - where grand ballrooms, lakefront views, and decades of history meet modern city life. There’s a sense of arrival here - timeless, romantic, unmistakably Chicago.

Nostalgic yet refined, it’s a love letter to afternoons along Lake Michigan, evenings dressed for dinner, and a city that wears its history beautifully. Presented as an 8.5” x 11” print with a crisp white mat and finished in a dark gray with gold highlights wood 11” x 14” frame, this piece feels right at home in a classic interior, or anywhere Chicago pride lives with style.
