The gym is a. Amazing!! As someone who trains daily the gym really does have everything you need! Cables, weight plates and barbells, gym quality weight machines. Blown away.

Jennifer Kling

Most boutique hotels have a hip lobby and boring rooms. This place does not. Great rooms, awesome beds, wonderful service, and fantastic toiletries . And, of course, perfect location.

Georgia Krause

I enjoyed my stay here; staffs are all professional and fun to be with. The rooms were big enough with comfortable bed and clean bathroom . We’ll return soon.

Evan Pierri

The concierge has free bikes available in the lobby. Great for a summer ride along lakeshore drive. You may need to reserve one ahead of time.

Mark B

This is one of my favorite places to stay in Chicago. Boutique atmosphere. Friendly , reasonably priced, centrally located and nice rooms.

Rick Valenzuela

The gym here rocks, best hotel gym I have ever been in. That said, if its nice out, go for a run up the Magnificent Mile instead past the Millennium Theater .

Ben Caro

The best thing about the James is that the toiletries are gluten-free, which is fantastic because people DEFINITELY EAT TOILETRIES.

Bob St Claire

Great hotel . Attached Primehouse restaurant outstanding. Being right around the corner from Eataly is a big plus.

Kat S.

Can't rave enough about The James! Perfect location, amazing rooms, great staff . Will definitely be back!

Anthony Ciolino

Upon entering my room "Another Night" by Real McCoy was playing. I immediately took off all my clothes and fashioned a makeshift prayer circle from the minibar. Be sure to do the same.

Gordon Wright

Good design. An escape from the corporate cookie cutter hotel room at a reasonable rate .

Renae Mason

The in-room dining is next level. So is the room with the projection corner & day bed. Loved it!

Chelsea

Great location, attentive service , free wifi , awesome toiletries , and clean spacious rooms . Cookies left in the room before bedtime an added bonus :)

We asked the concierge for a hip driver, since we were staying at a hip hotel . He told us to try Echo Limousine. He was Sooo right!

Mitchell Wapner

If you're a light sleeper, request an interior room; you'll lose a bit in the view department but will appreciate the silence. Even late at night, it's loud on Ontario.

Ok stay. The hotel itself is nice but there’s no “WOW” effect. Very basic lobby and super tiny bathrooms but at least the location is great and the service is good.

Shauna Seresin

Just hanging out in the lobby is very interesting! All sorts come through it and they are all interesting too!

David Smith

If you're having trouble with the doors, try putting downward pressure on the keycard as you pull it from the slot.

Go big with a two-bedroom 1,400-square-foot Penthouse Loft. You’ll be happy you have the space and the highest floor available. Read more

Room service for truffle fries is worth it and check out channel 42 if you have a moment :)

Abhilash Patel

Staying here now. Ask for anything - they are awesome about really trying to get you whatever you want. They have *free bike rentals * too - such a good idea!

Feels homey with a bath robe & welcome treat on your bed! Love the Kiehl's brand toiletries & easy outlets everywhere for charging up.

Ebony Shanks

Best customer service ever! They even gave us hugs when we departed. Love the James Hotel staff .

The Capital Grille

In Chicago for business? Utilize The James' Audi car service for convenient travel to local meetings and events .

Gorgeous hotel ! We saw 2 actors while we were there and there was an album release in the hotel bar . In the middle of everything!

Mason Michael

Ask to see the private James Club, & check out their private dining room-- if you've ever taken the Orange line in from Midway you'll recognize the chandelier photo from Matt Nighswander... Read more

Complimentary wifi , 24 hour gym , 2 David Burke bars + a restaurant . A+ in my book !!

Incredible service... and the softest beds west of La-La Land 😇

Bring your own robe. They have robes in the room. But they're lonely. So your robe will cheer them up.
