Spectacular views and Near North location - easy to get to all of our favorite places - lake, riverfront, Gold Coast, Old Town and Lincoln Park. Great fitness center and front desk staff. Grocery in the building and many others nearby. Shopping and restaurants just within a few blocks. Spacious condo with amenities. Nice that second bedroom has two beds. Owners make themselves available. Hope to return in the summer to use the pool!

The location of this property and views were outstanding. WiFi did not work the majority of our visit. HOWEVER-- the big issue was the $650 charge (note this is the most that is allowed to be charged) for 'damages' to the property. Some of the 'damages' ranged from ridiculous (a picture of the inside of the trashcan lid with some food on it), to breakage of a glass (which I had immediately reported via text to the owner when it occurred), to those we know we did not do (damage to a comforter inside a duvet cover), and some pictures that were sent of 'damage' that we could not even identify an issue with. Plan to tack on an extra few hundred dollars to the posted price even if you do everything you can to take care of the property (I have never received a negative review on our many, many stays in VRBO properties). Would NOT recommend staying in any of this owner's properties.

Beautifully appointed with all kitchen utensils imaginable. Doormen were very friendly and helpful. My granddaughter enjoyed the basketball court. Needs some updating of electronics to facilitate streaming. Also needs to replace blinds in bedrooms which are quite worn and difficult to operate.

This was a great stay. The hosts thought of everything we didn't or it wasn't practical to bring. The view was gorgeous. The amenities were well used and they were great. Everything was acceptable and as advertised. Very important to get the parking discount if available. The parking was the only thing that weighed a bit on my mind, but it was very convenient within the building. Although I am posting this before the final checkout, from our families perspective, this was experience to recommended. 👍

We loved our stay at the Grand Plaza. This is the second time we have stayed at this property.. I love the convenience of the grocery store and the red line both right next door. The views are amazing as well. We loved the ninth floor with the basketball court, and pool table. We will definitely stay there again.

Great views, great layout, all amenities just as described. Made our stay easy, relaxing and extremely enjoyable. We always coin a family vacation phrase, here’s what we chose for this vacation ...”life is better at the top”

We stayed on the 53rd floor which was awesome, I would also like to give thanks to I believe the doormans name is (Chris)who was soo accommodating, kind and professional....Not to criticize anyone but just a suggestion.. the living room sofa in front of the TV is really worn-out. Our stay was great up until our departure when the owners tried to charge more money for an extra cleaning, which was a surprise because we didn't have any parties, no loud music and we ate out 99% of the time...so stay aware!! I've been using VRBO for many years without any complaints from owners before so this was kind of strange...ps I've also had nothing less of great experiences when using VRBO...thanks Penny J.

7 of us ranging in age from 13 to 82. Beautiful 53rd floor penthouse. Great location with views all the way down State St. to the south and Lake Michigan to the east. Condo was spotless clean with kitchen fully equipped with dinnerware and cooking tools. Highly recommended without qualifications.

This wonderful property provides a new context to an already vibrant city. Over 50 stories in the sky yields mesmerizing views that words can't do justice. This River North property is in the heart of it all. A search of an online travel review site for their 4 or 5 star restaurants within 1/4 mile of the condo produced 130 results.
The owner was very attentive and kept us updated before, during and after our stay. Very gracious host.
Every amenity is within the condo, not to mention a gym, track, pool, etc. within the building to which all guests will have access. There's a Jewel-Osco grocery store within the building for further convenience.
This luxury condo will accentuate your trip and enjoyment of the Windy City. I will definitely be back.
Can I give 6 stars????!!!!

I stayed here with a group of friends for a conference that was held in downtown Chicago. We didn’t want to stay at the conference hotel so we opted for this place, and we are so glad that we did! Not only were the amenities amazing (pool, sauna, workout space) but we had ample space in the apartment for 8 adults and enjoyed spectacular views of the Chicago skyline- especially with sunrise. The sleeping arrangements were fine for all 8 of us (again, we are friends so beds were shared and the couches were used) and for the same price as an expensive downtown hotel we had a full kitchen and dining space to hang out together during our downtime. If you’re looking to stay downtown then this really is a good deal for a group of people!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Penthouse 5301 in the Grand Plaza. The location in Chicago is fantastic and easily accessible to food and attractions. The condo is exactly as listed and shown in the description. The view is amazing and we loved coming back after full days to this amazing space. We would sure come back and stay at this condo again!

The River North apartment is certainly spacious and the location amazing. LOVED how easy it was to go ANYWHERE downtown - in walking distance - restaurants, grocery stores, Michigan Ave., theaters.
The unit's two bedrooms are a distance a part, which provides quiet and privacy, as well as there being a great communal area for engagement. Additionally, each of the 3 bathrooms are spacious and clean.
Because of the tall windows, watching the weather change, seeing the skyline alter from day to night provides a dramatic backdrop while staying there.
The front desk staff is helpful.
A few recommendations are bring a sleep mask to darken the direct due east sunrise if you like to sleep past the 5:30am sunrise. There are only simple blinds throughout the apartment.
And secondly, be patient with the owner who sends an abundance and sometimes, redundant amount of information. That said the owner is very caring and attentive.

We had a wonderful experience staying at the Grand Plaza Penthouse. My husband and I and some friends met up for a few days to see the sights. We had never been to Chicago. The condo was perfect for four people. Each of the two bedrooms was large and both had great views so nobody felt slighted. The views were amazing. We didn’t want to leave the condo to go sightseeing! It was well equipped with everything we needed. The beds were comfortable. A glass of wine by the the fireplace was the perfect ending after a long day of sightseeing. The window coverings in the bedrooms could stand to be updated. The blinds in the king bedroom were bent and didn’t go all the way to the floor. The sun shone in through the slats every morning at sunrise and woke us up. Small inconvenience for an otherwise amazing Vrbo experience. Thank you Jeri-Lou and James!

Such a beautiful place to stay. Clean, comfortable, and so convenient to down town Chicago. Amazing place to watch the fireworks on New Year’s Eve! Check-in was easy and the condo had everything we needed to cook, clean, and enjoy family time. Can’t wait to stay again.

We had a wonderful stay at the penthouse the weekend before Christmas. The property was very clean and the location was perfect for our trip. It is just about a 3 block walk to Michigan Avenue with easy access to many restaurants.
It is located in the same building as a fully stocked grocery store and across the street from a Starbucks. The views from this penthouse would be difficult to beat.
Our whole family had a great time. The kids (7, 9, 12) are already asking to come back.
