Stayed on club level. Loved the beds, so comfortable I didn't want to get out! Great view through my two large windows and quiet enough so I slept peacefully . Would reccomend to everyone I know.

Scott Kleinberg

Beautiful hotel and even nicer after the recent remodel. Also a terrific shortcut on a frigid day between State and Wacker and Dearborn and Lake .

Cole Kennedy

Solid renovation! A tad bit too trendy , but the rooms are refreshed and the lobby feels less like a '90s management conference .

Melody Legge

I always liked staying here when I'd visit Chicago. Nice bar area with ok food and service for later nights downtown. Good music playing and neat atmosphere. Can't wait for the outside area to open.

Milo Jones

This hotel is my all time favorite. Great bar in the lobby for a cocktail while you’re waiting. Go to the 3rd floor rooftop for something more special. Or go out the back and get bao wow

Andy R

Good localization, in downtown. Near of points tourists , parks , theater e everything that you will need. Nice decor and excellent attendance.

Michael Sheehan

The lobby is a great place to network or meet people for quick 10-15 meetings if you are into those types of things. Close to a lot of businesses and agencies.

REN

Excellent location to stay at in the loop and just steps away from everything, including the elevated railway system to get you where you need to go

Tim Clarke

Great hotel with awesome views and newly refreshed decor. Good modern/contemporary feel and a real cool bar

Just blocks away, the Magnificent Mile can be daunting, so first-timers should start at the north end. Bring your credit card! Read more
