    indoor pool
    stunning city view

    The indoor pool on the 17th floor was sparkling and perfect for a quick dip after a long day. The city view from the room was stunning and spacious, truly a highlight of our stay!

    Felt like being home, no reason to complain.

    spacious room
    comfy beds
    spa tub
    high shower curtain
    minor inconvenience

    The Deluxe Two Queens room was super spacious and very clean. The beds were incredibly comfy and the pillows were just right. I loved the thoughtful touches like the spa tub, which was a nice way to unwind after a busy day. However, the shower curtain was installed a bit high, which was a minor inconvenience. Overall, great vibes in the room!

    positive energy
    rooftop patio

    The staff were like family, Gabby brought so much positive energy, always had great recommendations for us, and the rooftop was a real gem. All mornings started right with coffee and evenings wound down with cocktails at the bar on point!

    Wasn't cheap, but you pay for the experience.

    great access to major attractions for city explorers

    I enjoyed my stay, especially the wonderful central access to the Riverwalk, which is just a short stroll away, and the quick walk to the famous Chicago Theatre, where I caught an amazing show in the evening. this hotel's prime location made my weekend explorations effortless and really enjoyable.

    wine hour
    breakfast spread
    spa services
    small coffee cups

    Had an awesome time chilling by the fireplace during wine hour and enjoying a delicious breakfast spread. Felt super relaxed with the pool area and spa services available, perfect for unwinding after a long day. The only bummer was the small coffee cups offered in the morning, but that didn’t ruin my vibe. 😊

    delicious dinner
    excellent staff
    great location
    excessive fees
    pricey city

    Man, that Manchego ratatouille at Sable was a baaad dream – so rich and full of flavor! Plus, the location is on point, just a hop from The Purple Pig and Joe's Seafood. The staff? Straight-up pros who made everything flow seamlessly. 10/10 service!

    But let's be real, Chicago's prices are no walk in the park, especially with that hospitality fee that felt like a sneaky extra charge on top of the room rate. Still, can't deny the charm around every corner!

    friendly staff

    The room we got after changing was very spacious and perfect for my family. Every staff member went out of their way to help us and make us feel welcome.

    Unfortunately, there was no fridge or tea and coffee in the room.

    lovely view
    real bath

    The room was really spacious with a lovely view of the city. The bathroom had everything I needed, and I loved being able to soak in a real bath. It felt like a nice escape! Overall, it was quiet enough to sleep well at night too.

    my recent stay exceeded all expectations compared to previous visits in chicago. the staff went out of their way to make us feel at home, and the room was spacious with a great city view. i also appreciated the easy access to nearby restaurants and attractions during our couple of days away.

    the mattress was uncomfortable.
