Jeffrey-Ryan B.October 21, 2013This is my favorite property in the US and if can be a tad pricey on weekends but worth it for a weekend trip. Very convenient access to the L and Amtrak Station and Michigan Ave. and Wonderful rooms!
Brian StraussMarch 9, 2016Excellent hotel. Better than a Westin, nicer towels, better rooms, Bose home theater in rooms. When I complemented them on the apples in the gym they sent me a fruit basket.
Super centric location !! Great city views. Rooms are comfortable and clean. They have a Bose sound system in each room, very nice! Perfect for business trips or vacation.
Natalie MMarch 16, 2018This is one of the nicest hotels we’ve ever stayed at. The staff is so nice and helpful. The room is spacious and beautiful. The bed is soft. Great location.- Jeffrey-Ryan B.October 21, 2013Make sure you book a room online even if for that night as the rate at check-in is usually $150 more without a reservation. Use the App to make a reservation easily xx
Great customer service. Would recommend this hotel for any first time travellers and foodies to chicago. Will be staying here again my next visit
Andrew CNovember 28, 2019All hotel room prices are astronomical, but the staff and service are worth it... the basic rooms are modern, but nothing special + the suites, though, are very spacious (esp with a balcony)!!!- Christopher MichaelJuly 28, 2019Nice hotel. Beautiful contemporary rooms that have been updated. Check out the 5th floor terrace for a great view of the city.
- Mitchell SJanuary 7, 2014One of the few hotels that welcomes dogs. Echo Limousine (773-774-1074) also welcomes dogs, and is the only car service I found that does not charge extra for dogs. Reasonable rates, $60 from O'Hare.
Adora HagueMay 19, 2013I love the room very quiet. Freindly staff. Breakfast selection should be improved.
Ladybug WilliamsAugust 8, 2012The best hotel ever. Staff is great, service great, everything about the hotel was fantastic. Looking forward to my nxt stay.
If you are a Hilton Honors member ask for an upgrade to room 1609. Best room in the hotel with a giant terrace overlooking the city.
AmyJo WJanuary 24, 2014Really nice hotel, spacious room, great toiletries! Perfect location for downtown shopping &dining!
Sherri SouzaAugust 26, 2015Great hotel in downtown on Magnificent Mile. Upscale rooms with scented pillows to help you unwind, relax or recover!
Phil EdgeOctober 30, 2013MAKE SURE you seek out Eddie at the bar and take his recommendations for steak and/or seafood.
ReemJune 7, 2014Luxury, easy access to magnificent mile, navy pier and the lovely free seasonal trolley
Ethan AdamsDecember 23, 2015Great place for events! Tracey did a great job helping us host our huge community event.
Shane GallagherSeptember 1, 2013If you do self parking you only have 24 to exist the garage before they start charging you per house because the garage is operated my a third party.
Great hotel, great location. Close to everything, and it wasn't expensive.
Maya RubalcabaJuly 21, 2011Try the watermelon salad, great for summer on the outdoor patio! Also have a good white wine sangria Read more
Pedigree BrandNovember 10, 2011This Michelin-recommended hotel welcomes dogs 40 lbs. or under. There is no pet service fee, but you’ll have to sign a pet waiver. Bowl and leash will be provided by the hotel.
Ryan HarmonNovember 1, 2010This is the place to be on Michigan Ave. Great location, better staff, fantastic rooms. However, hit it up on Hotwire and save 50%
Check the bar for a good service and dry martini. Sergio n co will look after u. Guess where he is from! :)
The rooftop bar is better - and a lot less of a scene - than the Wit... Great vibe.
Jogger? It's .5 miles to Lake Shore Dr. See custom jogging map from hotel for run routes 2-11 miles. 
Best hotel in the city. Ask for an executive suite. You won't be disappointed!- Shane GallagherAugust 31, 2013King superior rooms have a great bathroom with separated tubs and shower.
Great hotel and there's an elavator that goes right into Nordstrom.
Sleep menu with h20 products and pillows is a must! Free Internet and huge baths!
MasterCardAugust 6, 2012The Terrace Rooftop has one of the most stunning views of Chicago. Priceless.
The location is terrific, but no in-room coffee service and no in-room microwave are strong negatives for me.
Jim MurthaJanuary 29, 2013Good location. Just a few blocks from pier and shopping (I'd you like that?)

Jeffrey BrothersDecember 19, 2019Don't stay in the rooms on level 5. Smells from food cooking in the restaurant waft into the rooms and you can't open the windows to get rid of the smells
Uber Chicago .September 19, 2013Look out for a sweet giveaway on our @Uber_CHI Twitter and Instagram during Uber Chicago's CHILOVESuberX, 9/20-9/22.
KellyAugust 16, 2016Currently a "lobby hotel", but rooms soon to undergo renovation. Only the 3rd hotel I've walked out of...
Dan FetznerMarch 4, 2016Was supposed to have a room with a king bed, instead got a room with a full size (not even a queen). Their attempt to make up for it was free breakfast. No thanks, won't ever be back.
Eric GuizzettiAugust 9, 2011Nice hotel but no pool or hot tub!:-/ if your looking for those stay elsewhere
Great rooms, large flat-screens, great amenities, great service, outstanding hospitality.
