      Perfect for Couples Seeking Comfort

      We had a lovely time at this place. The staff was super nice and even helped me get a special surprise ready for my fiance. That kind of personal touch? You just don't forget.

      It wasn't exactly a bargain but for the quality we got, it felt acceptable.

      disruptive sounds

      we recently chose this hotel for our honeymoon, surpassing our previous stay in chicago. the art installations added a unique charm, and the staff truly went above and beyond to enhance our experience. our room was spacious with lovely decor that made our celebration even more special.

      the hvac system was a bit noisy.

      This place suits me perfectly! I love the complimentary Wi-Fi, 24-hour reception, and fitness center. During my first stay, the staff helped with my bags, which made a great impression. I recommend exploring the art exhibits! I'm excited to return for a romantic escape.

      art installations
      great coffee
      limited pool hours

      We had an amazing stay here with our grown children! The location was perfect for venturing into the city. Our favorite was starting every morning with coffee from the Lure restaurant and checking out the very nice art installations around the lobby.

      My kids wished that the pool hours were extended, especially after a long day of sightseeing.

      The hotel's contemporary decor felt like a chic art gallery, with elegant furnishings and thoughtful design that made navigating the space easy for my elderly companions. Everything was stylish yet accessible, which I truly appreciated during our stay.

      More accessible seating in common areas needed.

      fresh seafood
      cozy room
      local eats

      Also, don't miss out on the local eateries nearby—The Purple Pig for tantalizing tapas is a must! And the room was cozy, not massive, but had a lovely vibe that felt homey.

      spacious room
      great location
      lack of dining
      unchanged exhibit
      minor disappointment

      The Deluxe Queen Room with Two Queen Beds was spacious and clean, providing ample room for our family. The location was superb, just a short walk from the subway, allowing easy access to nearby attractions. The overall experience was marred slightly by the lack of a dining option within the hotel, and the exhibit on display seemed unchanged from previous visits, which felt disappointing.

      comfortable bed
      excellent location
      friendly staff
      warm room
      limited counter space
      difficult entrance

      I enjoyed the comfortable bed and the excellent location that made it easy to explore nearby attractions. However, the room was quite warm even after adjusting the thermostat, and the bathroom counter space could be improved. A late check-out option would be ideal for guests with late flights.

      prime central spot for city walks and landmarks

      The location was wonderful, just a few steps from the Magnificent Mile and only a short stroll to Millennium Park, making it incredibly easy to explore the city on foot. I really loved the stylish lounge downstairs which made for a great spot to unwind after my daily adventures.

      art installations
      cleanliness issue
      rude housekeeping

      The hotel is in a great location, making it easy to walk to nearby attractions and enjoy a variety of restaurants. I particularly appreciated the spacious bathroom setup, which was a highlight of my stay. However, I encountered a few issues with the cleanliness of the room and the lack of responsiveness from the housekeeping staff. Overall, it was a decent stay, but some improvements in service and room maintenance would make a big difference.

      great location
      clean hotel
      loud street noise

      Had a fantastic time with friends! We explored a sound bath and enjoyed a session at The Dharma Yoga New York Center. The hotel is clean and staff is friendly. Great location with many attractions within walking distance.

      The only downside was the street noise in our room, which kept us up at night.

      I recently stayed in a Beautiful King Room for 3 nights. The art galleries added a unique touch. The bedside charging block was convenient. The staff was friendly and helpful. The central location made exploring easy. 👍
