10 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2026
I have been to Chicago so many times but this place was the absolute best hotel I’ve stayed in yet!! Everything is in walking distance including the Navy Pier if you’re up for a good stroll. Staff super friendly, the room was clean and comfortable. The view from our room was amazing. The lounge inside was very nice as well. I loved the ambiance, the low lighting, friendly staff and excellent food. Oh and I can’t forget about the valet, they were super fast and friendly. I can’t wait to come back.
The only negative was the congestion combined with the ongoing traffic when pulling up for valet. Have to be very careful

We loved the location. The room was spacious and comfortable. We liked that there was a small fridge in the room which we used. The staff were so friendly and helpful.
Despite being on the 27th floor there was still a bit of street noise.
