Hotel Rooms in
Architecture capital with hotel rooms to match. From Loop high-rises to Gold Coast classics, Chicago rewards the guest who picks the right room.
Waldorf Astoria Chicago
Spacious, clean rooms with fireplaces and good views. Staff goes out of their way to help with upgrades and recommendations. The hotel feels welcoming rather than stuffy, and guests keep coming back.
The Peninsula Chicago
Rooms are comfortable with excellent beds and nice amenities like quality slippers. But billing problems, valet theft, and dismissive staff responses happen here. Get all pricing in writing before you book anything.
Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile
Beautiful rooms with great views and an excellent bed, but service breaks down inconsistently across dining and room assistance. You get a polished property that sometimes fails on basic requests like correct food orders and timely help.
LondonHouse Chicago, Curio Collection by Hilton
Rooms are clean and comfortable with amazing river views, but they're a bit outdated and thin walls let you hear neighbors. Staff is friendly and helpful. The location near downtown attractions is excellent, though parking is expensive and elevators get crowded during peak times.
Hyatt Regency Chicago
Spacious clean rooms with good views of the river or city, though some face apartments instead. Staff excels at service and making guests feel welcome. Watch out for the $30 destination fee and slow valet parking during busy times.
Omni Chicago Hotel
Staff treats guests exceptionally well. Rooms are clean and quiet with good amenities. Governor Suite has only one bed despite large square footage, which frustrated one guest. Location on Michigan Avenue lets you walk everywhere.
The Westin Chicago River North
Rooms are clean and comfortable with good river views, but they're dated with outdated bathrooms and chemical smells. Thin walls let you hear neighbors clearly. Staff service is inconsistent: some guests praise kindness, others report poor communication and unmet requests. The hotel overcharges for what it delivers.
Sable at Navy Pier Chicago, Curio Collection by Hilton
The views of Lake Michigan and the skyline are genuinely stunning. Beds vary wildly in quality, with some guests reporting severe back pain. Rooms have noise issues where you hear neighbors clearly, especially during peak season. Staff are helpful, but the resort fee limits its value.
The Drake
The Drake has stunning views and spacious rooms, but cleanliness is a major problem. Recent guests found filthy bathrooms, peeling wallpaper, water damage, and poor maintenance throughout. Service quality varies wildly depending on staff and department.
Courtyard by Marriott Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile
Staff are friendly and efficient, location near Magnificent Mile is excellent, and beds are comfortable. Rooms lack basic amenities like water and hair dryers, and noise from the city disrupts sleep. You get what you pay for at this budget-friendly spot.
The St. Regis Chicago
Rooms are beautiful and well-maintained with good views, but some guests got small spaces that didn't match photos. Service is inconsistent: staff excel at restaurants and front desk, but fail at basic tasks like fixing broken fixtures, finding missing food orders, and handling complaints professionally. Location is quiet and convenient.
Hilton Chicago
Rooms are spacious and clean with good views, but bathroom lighting is poor. Noise from other guests can be a problem, especially during events. Staff goes above and beyond with helpful recommendations.
Swissotel Chicago
Staff here go above and beyond with genuine warmth and attentiveness. Rooms offer stunning city views, comfortable beds, and a state-of-the-art gym. The location puts you steps from Millennium Park and top restaurants, though TVs could use updating.
Hilton Chicago/Magnificent Mile Suites
Great location on Magnificent Mile, but serious maintenance issues plague this hotel. Guests report bugs, stained sheets, broken air conditioning, and unreliable hot water. Staff quality varies wildly, with some helpful and others dismissive.
Hilton Garden Inn Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile
Great location near attractions and transit, but rooms have serious problems: broken thermostats, missing blankets, roaches, and broken minifridges. Staff quality varies wildly from friendly to rude. The pool is tiny and misrepresented online. Skip it.
