    The club lounge
    Krajicek K.

    Will book Hyatt Regency again if we are going to Lollapalooza 2027. Very happy with our stay and its location. Very friendly and helpful staff everywhere, at the front desk, customer services, cleaning staff, the club lounge, and waitpersons at American Craft Kitchen.

    Overall a great stay in downtown Chicago. Hyatt Regency Chicago is a big hotel with lots of business conferences happening here. So there are lots of business travelers and we see some tourists. The front desk is always busy but we were able to utilize text message to communicate our needs. The hotel is right next to the river and just minutes away from boarding location of First Lady Architecture River Cruise. It's a major plus for us since the river cruise is on top of our list when visiting Chicago. There is a club lounge at this hotel. If you have access to the lounge, there's drinks and snacks that you can grab during the hours it's open and it has a great view. With club access, you get breakfast at the American Craft restaurant on the first floor. We got a room with river view. The room is nice and clean. Only downside is the staff had to service our bathroom since the bathroom in the next room had problem and they had to fix it from our side too. The location is great but it's a bit far from public transportation. We relied on ride sharing service and walked along the river and to Michigan Ave.

    Service: 1 Location: 5 Amenities: 4 Room: 4 I stayed at the Hyatt Regency in Chicago and had a mixed experience. The location was excellent, very convenient. The amenities were also strong, and the room itself was comfortable and well-maintained, top floor. The view was magnificent at night, but that was mainly because of the specific room type I requested. Without that view, I would have rated this hotel much lower because of the service. Unfortunately, the service was extremely disappointing. On the day of checkout, while I was sick and still sleeping, housekeeping entered at around 7:30 a.m. to clean the room. I also stayed on the top floor, and something seemed to be loose on the roof, causing repeated banging against the wall or ceiling for several hours. After checkout, my bags were still stored at the hotel, but when I tried to use a basic facility (that is available even for non-guests) about two hours later, the doorbell/front-desk staff member almost did not let me in and then argued with me about the hotel the policy. Management was confused about that staff's behavior and told me they would follow up about the issues, but I never heard back. Overall, the hotel has a great location, nice amenities, and decent rooms, but the service and follow-through were far below expectations for a Hyatt property.

    Hallway view. Room view was of someone else's office.

    This is a convention hotel that has unwelcoming staff who clearly don't want to be there. Location is decent but the beds left my back aching and the linens were so rough that I snagged my nail on the pillow case.

    Great venue for large events! Very accommodating staff. Friendly service. Pretty good food also. I enjoy this venue.

    Stayed here for a conference. The layout was kind of confusing initially with all the levels, but for as busy as the hotel was this entire week (2 conferences, the World Cup, and the fact that this is Chicago), it has been a great stay. The continental breakfasts and snacks were delicious. The catered lunch was incredibly. The rooms were clean and the staff were friendly. The cons: -not enough ventilation in the rooms (our towels didn't dry overnight. -The below bed lights turn on randomly. -The "half price sushi" advertisement doesn't say it's for specific rolls. -The pros: proximity to history and so many things. -The views!!!!

    Our second time in this hotel. It was again a great stay. Our view was fantastic. The service was great. The room was spacious and always clean. All of the staff were friendly.

    My review should not make people hesitate to stay at this hotel, but please stay away from room 2551 in the East Tower. I was here for a conference and is very friendly lady in the reception. Tried to upsell me to a better view on on payment. I am a World of Hyatt member and I was expecting at least to to get some recognition of my membership. The the room was so noisy and initially I thought it was probably the Chicago wind and since I was with a at the conference I asked others if their rooms were noisy and they said no. The next morning I called the reception and I was told that the noise was because of the elevator and it seemed like it was common knowledge that this room had something like a train running through every 3 to 4 minutes. I was a little disappointed that this room was given to me and no fair warning that it was noisy. I spoke to the front office manager who arranged To have me move to a different room which was a big inconvenience because I'd already unpacked and I was busy with the conference. It's a big hotel other than this experience. The location is really great and you're very close to the million Mile and the river. Most of the staff were friendly other than the person who checked me in who was friendly but may have just thought that that I would not complain about the noise and give me the worst room in the hotel. I hope the management will take care so that no other guest has this experience. The rooms are quite big for downtown hotel. It has good amenities. I would not mind staying in this hotel on a future visit.

    Have attended plenty of weddings, showers and other events at hotel banquet facilities. The food was not good at all, the sides would usually be bland and the meat would be rubbery. Not the case at this hotel. This is honestly the first hotel banquet facility where ALL of the food was a deliciously flavorful ten out of ten. We had to preorder prior to the date. I chose the salmon; cooked to perfection and seasoned nicely. Topped with a cream sauce to die for. The sides were mashed potatoes and collard greens with turnips. DELICIOUS! I just have one question, who was in that kitchen? Lol. The carrot cake slice was also a perfect ten out of ten.

    This Hyatt, the largest Hyatt in the WORLD, was just outstanding. Everything about it from the service to the perks to the facilities was very appreciated. The staff service was pleasant and efficient. We book a room with Regency Club access, and this was beyond our expectation. It included all day access to the Club for snacks and drinks, AND breakfast daily (easily $150/day for our family). Our room was spacious, as we basically had four adults, and we fit comfortably (unlike the other hotel we stayed at in the same trip). We had a gorgeous view of the river leading to Lake Michigan, which we received an upgrade for. The lobby area offered a bar with floor to ceiling windows showcasing the Chicago skyline (Big Bar), an eatery (American Craft Kitchen, where we had our breakfasts), and led to other dining areas. We received a daily $25 dining credit that we used in these spaces for drinks or dessert. The gym was spacious, with lots of machines, weights, towels, and water dispenser. I wish we had used it more. The hotel is essentially two giant sections (one has the convention area) connected by a bridge...I see why it's the largest Hyatt. Could walk to most downtown areas, it's located one block off Michigan Avenue. We did not drive a car here, so cannot speak to that. Would easily stay here again, and so would Hubs, and THAT is saying something!

    This Hyatt Regency is pretty impressive. It's on Wacker, close to the river. A sky bridge connects the east and west towers. The main lobby is massive and very shiny. It's certainly meant to hold large groups of people in the underground conference rooms. Check-in is located on the second floor of the East tower. Just take the stairs or escalator up. They have a glowing light ball that's sometimes a Pokèball and sometimes the Earth. Check-in seemed to be a breeze, though there was a short delay at 7:15pm on a Friday night. We were put in a room on the 35th floor in the West tower (which also has conference functions at the lobby level). Upon check-in, we were presented with keycards, and daily $25 vouchers for hotel restaurant purchases after 5pm. They specified that the vouchers are not valid at the convenience store ("market"). I requested some toothpaste, razor and shaving cream, and slippers at check-in. It turns out that they don't stock those items at the front desk. Instead, they place a request with housekeeping, who will deliver those items to your room. After we arrived at our room, the items were delivered roughly 20 minutes after. So, not too quick, but not too slow either. Our room had a south facing view of Millenium Park. Within the room, there was an amenity menu, indicating what types of items could be provided, such as tooth paste. What I appreciated about this hotel was that toothpaste was provided in actual tubes, rather than those sample pouches. The room itself was very clean. Part of the floor near the entrance was slightly not level. The bathroom was shiny and did not smell. The shower was a bathtub with a cloth curtain. The cloth curtain didn't seal very well, and water from the shower tended to splash out onto the floor; the direction of the shower head was not adjustable, but the output of the shower head was adjustable by rotating the switch. Turning on the water was slightly confusing. Blue color coding was present on the top half (10oclock to 2oclock), but to turn on the water, the handle needed to be rotated downwards, counterclockwise, which was unlabeled (and cold). Hot water then came at at 1 o'clock. The mirror featured backlighting and a building in digital clock, which was quite useful. An ironing board and an iron were located near the entrance in the clothes hanging rack. The iron featured a retractable cord. The ironing board was free of dust. The iron was free of griminess and worked well. The lights in the room operate using motion sensors and pressure switches. Lamps have a physical on/off switch. All tabletop surfaces were polished stone. Outlets were available o both sides of the bed, four in total. A lounging couch is located by the window. The floor is rock solid. The thermostat appears to be modern. It is a touch screen, displays the weather, and it is in color. However, it seemed that the air conditioner in the room struggled to cool the room to below 73F, even though the target temperature had been set to 69F. This resulted in a slightly warm room that slightly uncomfortable to sleep in. Noise in the room was quiet. The only noise was about 20 seconds of brief conversation heard through the wall from our neighbors, and it was not bothersome at all. Wi-Fi is free and did not seem to have a captive portal. The elevators were pretty speedy. The skyway between towers on the second floor features plenty of workspaces, with outlets for every single seat or space. This extends to the workspaces on the second floor "Gallery" in the West tower too. The East tower houses the restaurants on the first floor. The Big Bar is on the second floor after checkin. There is a copious amount of seating. The West tower had a fitness room on the second floor. It was stocked with LifeTime fitness treadmills, ellipticals, and a handful of cycling machines. There are a handful of weight machines. Dumbbells are located in the corner. Motivational quotes are printed on the walls. A beverage machine is located near the digital scale. They also have those big rubber balls that you can use to keep balance. They have towels and disposable headphones. For check out, they provide a card with a QR code and phone number, meaning you can check out remotely. They do ask that the keycards are returned to a dropbox by checkin. This allows for a quick exit.

This hotel was located within the loop near the river, shops, bars and restaurants. The hotel rooms are basic and small. We were fortunate to get an upgraded room with two queen beds and an amazing view out the window of the city. The window was large and clean. The beds were comfy with ample pillows. Four pillows were provided. The hotel set up is a bit awkward. Room is best for one person as lacks storage for large luggage. Plus there is not a defined bathroom. The shower is within the bedroom. Fortunately the shower was frosted but you walk right into the bedroom so you must be comfortable with those you stay with. Plus the room does really have a deck and chair to work. The desk is a fold down from the wall. The chair for the deck is located on the wall and not really suitable for long term working on sitting as does not have a back to it. The best thing above this hotel are the staff. The front desk staff are super friendly and accommodating and aim to please. The bartender was super friendly and attentive as well. Lastly parking is not available right at the hotel. You have to walk two blocks. Plus parking cost 59 dollars and that's the discounted rate. Also not really a suitable place to drop luggage off. If you pull up to the front door, you are blocking traffic. Base on price of 400 dollars the night we stayed, I would say it's not worth the stay. Maybe it's worth 200 or less for Chicago.

    Hampton Inn majestic will let you relive the Chicago fire!!!…read more Was not a fan of their elevators since they kept jumping from levels 6 and 7 and would randomly stop without being called. The last Hampton inn I got stuck in the elavator and had an off experience with getting help, so I chose to use the stairs. Upon using the stairs we were met with SEVERAL linen boxes blocking our only exit. They were all in different directions and could not be easily rolled out, especially when we were blocked behind them. Instead we had to parkour over it to escape. There was a valet driver sitting at the front and ignored us after I asked for help and continued to say she's just valet she can't do anything. These bins were there for well over an acceptable time, blocking the only stairs and fire safety exit but also for people that didn't enjoy their sketchy elevators. And again, pallets were there days later also blocking the ONLY emergency exit and stairwell exit. Completely unacceptable in a normal city let alone one with history of building fires. Exits should not be blocked and it's clear the building uses this space for "storage" often. Before the fire situation even happened, their breakfast situation was insane. Our first morning was on a Monday. Their service is until 10 am and around 9am we headed down for some fuel. By that time, the dining room was packed, the tiny buffet room was empty of food but packed with people who were waiting for tables, chairs and all of the food to be restocked. One woman was trying to run the whole operation while two men just stood behind the concierge desk and watched the shit show of breakfast service happen in front of them. Someone should have helped her get breakfast together. Even if it wasn't their job, in hospitality, their job as hotel manger or anyone who works in the hotel is to make sure the guest have a pleasant stay, not to look pretty sitting in front of the Hampton inn welcome to Chicago sign. Overall unorganized and not something nice to look at when you first walk into a hotel lobby, chaos. You would think the grievances would stop there. However we were then denied the benefits that we get as gold Hilton members. Previously at hiltons and Hilton branches we have been offered two bottles of water per room per day. Most of the time they would be offered upon check in (which they did not) and given daily throughout our stay. This time the concierge allowed my mom just to go grab them out of the fridge. The next day we did the same and the concierge Robyn gave me immediate backlash even after I said we were previously allowed to take them. She repeatedly said I was wrong and gave no hospitality to hear my side of the story. I didn't want to cause a scene and returned my water. She then slammed them onto our table as I was eating breakfast with my family. Definitely could have been better ways for her to deal with the problem and I did not appreciate the hostility coming from the concierge at 9 am. We were already all crammed at a small table because there are no seating arrangements easily accessible for families or even enough seats in the dining room. One star because housekeeping did great and my room was clean and refreshed when necessary (and because zero is not an option) Otherwise I would hope I never have to stay here again.

    While searching hilton.com for a hotel to stay at on the day of my birthday, Hampton Inn Majestic…read moreChicago Theatre District was the first to pop-up within Chicago. I want to say that I have had my eye on this hotel for a while now after looking for Hilton hotel locations with a peloton bike, which this one has. Other than that, I loved that the location of this hotel sits in the heart of Chicago, surrounding a plethora of activities which made it the perfect choice for hotel stay to celebrate. Okay, it was an experience going up to the lobby area to check in at this hotel, a blonde moment as I am known for if you follow my reviews. The lobby is located on the 4th floor, so be sure to choose "L" for the lobby because there is no 4th floor button listed in the elevator. Me and two other hotel guests had an adventure going up to the lobby area after trying to figure out where the 4th floor button was. My experience with the receptionist working behind the desk was nothing less than professional. Since my room was already booked through Hilton Honors, the only thing check-in consisted of was a verification of my information, a briefing on what is offered, and the receptionist giving me my room key. For your information, check-in starts at 4:00 PM and check-out ends at 12:00 PM! If you have the Hilton honors application, there is the opportunity to check in with the application, choosing your room, and receiving a digital key, which will allow you to go to your room contactless without seeing a receptionist upon your arrival. I have not used this method, but if you are interested in no contact whatsoever then you can use it with the Hilton Honors application. After locating and entering my room, I thought to myself this is fancy once I took notice of the design and interior color which appeared so elegant! There was a variation of vibrant colors in the room from its curtains to the headboard of the king-size bed, the carpet, and a gold chair that looked like something out of your grandmother's house. Out of all, I just could not take my eyes off the curtains which reminded me of cherry blossoms because of the colors. Inside the bathroom there were liquid products by Gilchrist & Soames Zero% attached to the wall. Throughout my travels, I have noticed that hotels have completely dealt away with the mini shampoo, bath soap, and conditioner products that made great travel hygiene additions. Along with those notable things inside of the room, it met my cleanliness standards. I had no issues whatsoever getting comfortable in the king-sized bed during my stay as my head was engulfed in between the comfortable pillows. While utilizing the shower, I really enjoyed the water pressure; its soothing pressure made me feel very cleansed during each usage. It was wonderful toggling with the spray patterns, with the addictive feel of the pressure hitting my face and body. Other things the room came with that I noticed were a comforter, an iron, ironing board, blow dryer, safe, comforter, a coffee maker (Hamilton Beach), a mini refrigerator, microwave, and USB and AC plugins attached to either the headboard of the bed, lamps, or the television cabinet, which added a nice touch to the room. And the Wi-Fi internet was easy to connect to and not once did I have any connectivity issues with it during my stay. Hampton Inn Majestic, as expected, had an exceptionally beautiful inner interior! As a fitness enthusiast, it was great having a fitness center onsite because it allowed me to keep up with my fitness routines during my stay. I must say that I was pleased to see several dumbbell weights, medicine balls, kettlebells, a decent selection of workout machines, and two peloton fitness bikes which charmed me out of my panties once I spotted them. And oh, honey did I enjoy it on my birthday with the lovely Hannah Frankson as my peloton instructor, who put my legs through torture during her low impact workout. Having the complimentary breakfast was a relief because I did not have to worry about finding a restaurant for breakfast in the morning. And I was highly satisfied with the quality of what was presented. It is served daily from 6:00 AM - 10:00 AM. For you all visiting the city of Chicago, there are plentiful sights, activities, and restaurants within a radius of Hampton Inn Majestic. As a resident, a few that I adore are Willis Tower, Millennium Park, and the Art Institute of Chicago! Next door is the CIBC Theatre, which I noticed upon my initial arrival at the hotel. And if you are looking to explore the city or outer part of the city, the Chicago Union Station, and CTA Train Station are very accessible to-and-from. I would surely book Hampton Inn Majestic Chicago Theatre District again due to my experience with it because the hotel met my comfort needs, and I loved that its location is within an accessible distance of things of interest in downtown Chicago. ~ Live every moment ~ Thomas G

The staff were somewhat friendly until different things started to come up... 1st issue: Friday night the elevators completely stopped working. Big problem due to having a small infant and needing to get the stroller down. We were staying on the 10th floor. But an even bigger problem was that we started to notice floods of people come on our floor and notify us that there was not an exit even via the stairs!!!! My husband got on the phone with the front desk and the reply was "you are just going to have to wait for the elevator." This was completely unacceptable and UNSAFE- what if there was a fire? What if something dangerous was happening and we couldn't get out of the building? This itself would have landed this hotel at a 1-2 rating. The elevator issue didn't fill resolve itself for our whole stay- only 2/3 were in service and they took 5-10 minutes to show up each time. Seriously inconvenient. 2nd issue: they put one of our rooms (we had 3 groups) literally next to the pool. Kids were screaming their heads off beginning at 6:30am and it would carry on until 10pm. When SIL called down to the front desk she was told "sorry that's just how it is and it should quiet down soon." Again, completely unacceptable. We had young children and infants who needed to nap and go to bed early. 3rd issue: we asked for a late check out since our flight was later and we needed to get our baby to take a nap- after all of these issues they said they would extend it to 1:00, which was nice. We did then ask if it could be extended another hour and we were told it would cost $25. Fine... what was not fine was when there was banging on our door and someone walked in at 1:25pm to clean the room. It woke up our baby and completely defeated the purpose of us extending our late check out and paying the extra $25. 4th issue: apparently they don't clean the rooms unless you are staying for 3 or more nights? We didn't know about this and assumed we would get new towels since there is a sign in the bathroom saying "hang towels to reuse" or "if you would like new ones, place them on the floor". We needed new towels so we followed what it said and then were told our rooms wouldn't be cleaned or even checked to see if we needed new towels. Good things I will say: - very convenient area - provided a pack n play - Starbucks in the hotel - hotel room was clean Would have love for this stay to have been better since the Marriott is well known and usually a great place to stay.... but the lack of customer service makes it hard to want to book another room at a Marriott hotel.

It is amazing thanks to Josephine, she gave me a quiet room to rest and even has the extra towels brought up before I could even reached the room. Now that is service! We will be back.

    Two nights at the EMC2 confirmed it: this is a property that treats hospitality as a craft. The…read morerooms are quiet, immaculate, and thoughtfully designed -- but the people are what I'll remember. Shamel, Jackie, and Gwen at the front desk delivered service that was consistent across every shift and every interaction. Requests were anticipated as often as they were fulfilled, and each struck the rare balance of being attentive without ever hovering. Great hotels are defined by their people, and these three make a persuasive case. They're the reason I'd return without hesitation and recommend the EMC2 to anyone visiting Chicago.

From the fascinating art pieces to the magnifying-glass room numbers, and the automated delivery robots Leo and Cleo that bring you snacks and toiletries right to your door, it's a truly special place. It's perfect for design enthusiasts and solo travelers looking for a central spot in the city. They also have an onsite dining option, The Albert, which offers creative seasonal dishes and expertly crafted cocktails. Chris, the bar manager, makes a fantastic Old Fashioned and really makes sure you are enjoying your time. One thing I noticed is that the bar doesn't have TVs for watching sports. It feels like they might be missing out on a big customer base because of this.

If you're able to splurge for club access at $200/person, you'll get to experience stunning city views, breakfast, afternoon tea, snacks, unlimited cocktails, and evening bites. We were also sent a bottle of wine and snacks to our room. I loved that they have a free spa area where you can use the sauna, heated stone loungers, and cold showers. The pool was stunning and we enjoyed swimming, just wish the hot tub was hotter as it was lukewarm. The room was great as well with a Nespresso machine and relaxing tub. Every time we stepped out of the room we would come back to a nice surprise, the room would be cleaned or they would leave the water and ice. Very attentive customer service here. Overall it was nice to live in luxury for the night, highly recommend if you're looking to splurge and relax! Hope I'll be able to stay again someday.

    We were in town briefly for a wedding, and the JW Marriott was our hotel of choice. While not…read moreluxury, the hotel was very nice and comfortable, and the location was central to our wedding happenings. Everything was great until I checked out and discovered that I had been charged $88 per night for parking. That was quite unexpected. I had been in Chicago just a few months earlier and had paid $55 at the L7 Hotel. So I was shocked that the JW could charge so much. How is their valet parking better than the valet parking at the L7? I realize now that had I been traveling alone, and not with my family, it would have been cheaper to fly to Chicago, than drive the 4.5 hours from Ohio. Apparently the hospitality industry hasn't caught on to the current affordability crisis, or at least Marriott hasn't.

    We landed here not because it was my first choice but because all Chicago hotels were booked or…read moreexpensive. Apparently there was a WNBA event in town. So the JW seemed affordable within the mix...at $700+ a night... I've stayed at a few JWs across Asia and the US. For whatever reason this one didn't seem to meet JW's normally high standard. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I think it started with the lobby and bar. It was always overcrowded and noisy, and just didn't feel very intimate or elegant. That followed with the fact there's only one restaurant in the hotel and both times we visited it was nearly empty. It's tucked on the second floor back in the corner, and just feels like a standard obligatory hotel restaurant. The food was good but the ambience was just odd. The room was well-appointed, including a comfortable bed and soft sheets. And the bathroom had everything we needed. But the service day-to-day required follow up. They forgot to restock coffee, water and cups a few times, and when I called the front desk they delivered in a trash bag. There is a daily service charge that I believe is $50 a night and provides Wi-Fi, access to gym, and a free class. We went to use the gym to access the sauna and steam room, but learned that's part of the spa not gym so had to pay a separate per person charge. The spa was refreshing but fairly standard. Not like the Seoul Marriott with multiple heated baths and a cold plunge. Call me spoiled. Don't get me wrong, the hotel is very nice but for $700 a night and knowing what I know about most JW's this just seems slightly below their standard. I wouldn't pay that much again, but would come back for a more affordable rate.

    I've been to Miru many times and finally got to try out the hotel for a staycation…read more Pros: -I loved that they had two restaurant options in the hotel. Both have incredible views but I would definitely recommend having at least one meal on the Miru patio if you are there during nice weather. -I was most surprised by their massive gym and has stunning views. It's also open 24 hours. They offered Pilates classes as well for an extra fee. -the hotel is brand new and all the finishes are so high end. The rooms are clean and quiet. The hallways are huge and felt like a maze to navigate but it also added to feeling of privacy. -there were so many high end details that made it extra special (the cozy Frette bath robes, welcome drinks, treat box in the room upon arrival, and the accent lighting in the room). -the location. It's just across the river from the heart of Michigan ave on the north end of a residential development. You don't feel like you are in the middle of the chaos of the city but the park, lake front and river are footsteps away. Negatives: -view was underwhelming ( fourth floor river view . Might choose the park view next time. I'd also recommend not facing the river as there was lots of honking/noise. -the room layout was awkward. They have this huge desk between the bed and tv. The full length mirror is a down a long hallway from bathroom/ where you would be getting dressed. -the room service comes on these huge heavy trays. The staff seemed like they were straining under the weight of it/ it was awkward. -I'd probably skip the spa/massage -$90/ day parking. Was able to do a spothero for about $40 next door.

So, walking from the Blackbawks shop when it's 20° isn't an easy task. Also, I wasn't able to try the Tre Dita since I didn't book a reservation in advance. Hopefully, I can schedule a reservation in the future. Plus, since it was mid-December, the St Regis had their third annual 12 Days of Sabrage, which guests of honor perform the evening ritual of champagne sabrage, which celebrates the transition from day to night. They offered complimentary toast of champagne and a Vosges Haut-Chocolate truffle. The hotel encouraged everyone to bring a new or lightly used winter clothing for children in need.
