I stayed here for one night. It's a great location and I arrived a bit early and the staff got me a great room with a view The facility is a bit old and I found the bed to be uncomfortable. There was a fridge in my room along with coffee maker and hot water kettle which was very nice, a spacious closet was also available. The shower amenities were set up so that they were hard to pump while showering. The lobby was very beautiful and the staff was attentive there were no usb-c connections read more

For the price, the room was warm and was difficult to get it to cool down, the AC rattled loudly all night. The TV and internet wifi did not work well, were very glitchy. The bathroom shower door leaked badly all over the floor, no wash cloths. The sheets are not fitted so bedding came off too easily. The location I guess is what you pay for. read more

7 Occupant Review: Speaking here for 7 of us staying for two nights in conjoined rooms: a corner suite connected to a standard double bed room. And a standard room on a separate floor (3 rooms in total). Lone family member researching and booking this hotel for us all through a 3rd-party vendor. All in our party were overall beyond impressed with what this hotel has to offer. Couple of qualifications (below). Primary benefit is that it's very centrally located to downtown Chicago. You're literally within walking distance to several iconic Chicago landmarks, including the Miracle Mile shopping district, John Hancock Tower, River Walk, Navy Pier, etc. Gorgeous views of the pier, adjacent skyscrapers and Lake Michigan from our rooms. Bring good, comfortable walking shoes though, because you WILL walk in this city. The hotel looks to be a popular lodging choice for the convention & trade show set. With the lobby serving as a prime people-watching spot. Lotta beautiful people & visitors passing through this city, not gonna lie. And there's a very capable restaurant & bar onsite called the Palms that could easily be overlooked during a stay, but shouldn't be. I didn't personally, but a few family members interacted with front desk agent Bernard at check in and said he really started the stay off strong with his customer care. And we kept our promise to deliver him a generous slice of custom-made carrot cake that was procured for a guest in our party for their 80th birthday. Big kudos to him. The rooms are nice & well-apportioned. Subtracting a collective star for a couple hiccups: Not enough electrical outlets, easy access to hidden one's (?), and at least one of them inoperable in the standard room. Made it a bit tricky juggling needs for two C-pap machines, charging smart phones, running laptops, and keeping the lamps working simultaneously. Also, the beds in our standard rooms were merely full-sized or double mattresses. Implying that unless two people are betrothed (only two in our party were a couple) and both under 150 lbs, they ain't gonna work for sleeping 2 adults comfortably (lol). Luckily, a roll-out sofa mattress discovered in the connected suite solved this riddle for us. Could of been a bit more generous with the towel allotment in the rooms, particularly in the standard rooms. 2 washcloths, 2 bath towels, 2 hand towels=not enough. Particularly during the summer season. These issues ultimately weren't terribly hard to mitigate with a little collective creativity from the group. The HVAC system and our desire to keep one or both rooms at a constant and very cool 65° was a blessing coming back from a sweaty walking mission in the late summer heat & humidity. Cool, hard-working room attendants that still do daily turnovers without asking. Tip 'em during or at the end of your stay if it's in your heart to do so. They're typically the hardest workers in any hotel. Superb, fast elevator system. You must scan your room key card and tap in your floor # for security. Good system. Faux wooden-motif room key cards double as vacation souvenirs at trip end. Free coffee in the morning lobby for a limited duration. Small, single-cup machines & supplies in the rooms too. Note well: There's some kind of deal going whereby you can claim a $15 daily room credit at the hotel. Like a credit for food or beverage onsite. The member in our party who booked the stay took advantage of this perk, but us others forgot about it. Not sure if this deal is exclusive through a 3rd party reservation or otherwise? So, might wanna inquire about this during the booking process or when checking into the hotel. Don't sleep on the funny-spelled Swissotel as a possible choice when staying in DT Chicago. It worked nicely for us. Enjoy. read more

Stayed here one night with a friend while visiting Chicago. We booked through Airbnb and the process was seamless and easy. The hotel reached out beforehand so communication was good. Check-in took way longer than it should've. Only 2 people at the front desk with like 5 people in line and we waited 15-20 minutes. The room itself though was really nice. Super clean, great layout, separate bathtub and shower, and amazing view of the city and the river. No complaints. Now the fees! This is where it gets annoying. There's a mandatory "urban experience fee" of $30-35 per night that includes a $15 food/beverage credit, $12 dry cleaning credit, 10% off private transportation, and WiFi. You cannot opt out. I called to confirm I could use the credits at their bar and they said yes. I got a drink at the bar for $15, tipped on top $4 and expected to see that reflected at checkout (pay $4 extra). Instead I was charged $56. Had to wait in line again just to get it sorted out, and the front desk was confused at first and we kept going back and forth before finally issuing the credit. It still hadn't posted to my card by the time I left, so fingers crossed that gets resolved. Honestly the fee wouldn't bother me as much if it was actually worth it but the WiFi was laggy enough that I just gave up and used my cellular data, and I can't imagine most guests are regularly using dry cleaning or private car discounts. The $15 food credit is the only perk that feels worth it (even though it wasn't easy go apply). A couple minor things: the toiletries have a really earthy, herbal scent that's just not for me which is a personal preference. The hotel is going for an eco-friendly vibe (wooden key cards, bamboo combs, etc.) which I think is cool, just mentally prepare if you're particular about scents. On the bright side: gym has a gorgeous view, room comes with a mini fridge, AC/heat works great, and the location is super convenient. Overall it's a solid hotel but the fee situation left a bad taste. I'd say try it once, just know what you're walking into and double check your charges at checkout. And maybe bring your own toilestries. read more

We stayed for 3 nights ($1842) booking a room with lake view. Checking in, I was given room 402 (there are 43 floors). We requested a room higher up and was denied. After entering the room the bathroom was not cleaned adequately nor was the room itself. Day 2 after being out all day, we came to the room at 7 pm to a room that wasn't cleaned and the TV cable/guide was not working. We called the the front desk who indicated it was a system wide issue. We called again at 9:15 pm for an update and were advised it still wasn't fully functioning but we could now scroll through channels -- no guide. Every day has presented a new issue. This has been a very disappointing stay. We do not recommend this hotel. There are so many better options a in Chicago. Take the time to check reviews from numerous sites since many seem to be padded with great reviews for mediocrity. read more

I stayed here for a week. It is in a good location in downtown near the river, allowing easy access to lots of restaurants, the river walk, Millennium Park, and Michigan Ave. The rooms are a bit old, with boggy mattresses and odd configurations for the bathrooms. My shower door also leaked (1 star off). The hotel prides itself to having "Swiss hospitality". I am not sure what that means. I once called to ask for extra towels, and they forgot. I asked for utensils and they told me I need to get them myself from the bar downstairs. I asked if I can microwave the leftovers from my fridge and they told me it would be $35 for microwave use. So I don't know what "Swiss hospitality" is but it certainly was not included in its resort fee (1 star off). If you get a room on a higher floor, the views are good. The windows do not open, possibly due to a safety issue, so the room can be stuffy. I had to leave my front door open for a bit to air out the room upon arrival. read more

The process for finding a decent hotel can be tasking. You just never know and I think that's one of the scariest things, lol. We decided to stay here based on the reviews, walkability, the proximity to restaurants, parks, stores, and entertainment. The hotel itself is pretty nice and rather big! I think we stayed on the 18th floor and the views were AMAZING! Shoutout + thanks to Bernard for fulfilling our request and for making our check in process seamless. He was quite hilarious and gave us good food recommendations which we appreciated. The hotel room itself was ok but pretty outdated (e.g., the bathroom, furniture, and beds) and could use some upgrades. I did like that there was enough room to move around and not be up under anyone else. I had to request for extra blankets because the sheets were a bit thin/making it cold. They have two restaurants located on the first level, which is nice if you sometimes want to stay in. The gym/fitness center is probably one of the best ones I've seen for a hotel. It was well equipped and clean. I wish I would've taken advantage of it more but there was so much to do, so little time! Overall, I enjoyed my stay at the Swissôtel. Chicago is always a vibe and I can't wait to go back! read more

Terrible Hotel.... We arrived at night and for some reason their system was down for credit cards for the deposit of the hotel so the front desk said they would have us to a CC authorization form and when the system is back up they will charge. Next day security locked me out of my room and when i asked the front desk they said because theirs no credit card on file for the deposit. Absolutely unacceptable and unreal what kind of low budget low class activity is that? To lock a guest out of a room like that and then the employee tried to apologize for the mistake. The hotel is super mediocre as well. read more

I typically stay at Marriott Bonvoy properties, but since my conference this week was hosted at Swissôtel, it made sense to stay on-site. This was my first stay here, and overall, I was pleasantly surprised. Hotel & Room The hotel is 37 years old, and while that age shows in a few design elements, everything was clean, well-maintained, and fully functional. My guest room was spacious and comfortable, more so than many newer hotels that prioritize style over space. The bathroom setup was a tell: a full bathtub (a giveaway of an older property) but with a small glass-enclosed shower tucked behind the door--functional, but not exactly modern luxury. View The highlight of our room on the 21st floor was the stunning view of Lake Michigan, especially at night. Floor-to-ceiling windows gave us a postcard-perfect view--a real selling point for this hotel. Unique Touches One charming surprise was the old-fashioned doorbell, which you ring by turning a key outside the door. A small detail, but it reminded me this hotel has some history. Fitness Center The 34th-floor fitness center was the biggest surprise--absolutely outstanding. It looked brand new, with a wide range of quality equipment and panoramic skyline and lake views. For anyone who values a good workout on the road, this is a major perk. Dining & Amenities * The Palm steakhouse anchors the lobby for lunch and dinner--reliable, classic, and always good. * In the morning, the hotel takes over the space. I ordered an omelette with bacon, potatoes, and toast for $22, and it was huge--good value for a downtown hotel breakfast. * My only real disappointment: no proper coffee shop on-site. Coffee service at the lobby bar exists, but it's nothing special. A hotel of this size should really have a grab-and-go café. Overall Take I wouldn't call Swissôtel a five-star luxury property like the St. Regis up the street, but it delivers on comfort, views, and fitness amenities. If your conference is here or you want a lake-facing view at a more reasonable price, it's a solid choice. read more

Great location, walking distance from a lot of places, and nice view of the city/river. Checking in and out was a breeze - they do offer food/beverage credits if you don't request room service daily. This hotel is very outdated and could use a facelift, though. The toilet ran for about 15 mins after flushing, the a/c doesn't go down past 65°, and you can definitely hear people moving about. It served its purpose for my few days stay but I doubt I'll return here. read more

We stayed in Chicago a few weeks ago for the Oasis concert after getting a deal on a website. It was so easy to get around from this hotel, but I do wish it was just a bit closer to the riverwalk. We had a great view of Navy Pier, which we especially enjoyed at night when the ferris wheel was lit up. The hotel lobby bar was nice and the house wines were actually pretty good. My only issue with the room was that the shower door wouldn't stay closed! So after every shower we had to essentially mop up the bathroom floor. We also told the front desk and housekeeping that we didn't need any service, yet they still came in our room and moved things around. Would I stay here again? Maybe, but I'm not itching to return either read more

Expensive for no reason. Staff aren't overly helpful. we get out of our car and the people outside.

I booked Swisshotel for a 1 night staycation and had a very enjoyable experience! Great hotel in a great location right off of the lake. Nice bar scene and they have a good looking restaurant in which I did not get a chance to try. The room itself was really nice and spacious. Had a good view and the bed was really comfy. Room came equipped with a mini fridge which came in handy. The only issue I would call out is that the shower was very small so unless you're really small people, its a hassle to shower together lol! We ordered room service the next day and the breakfast sandwich was really good...ham, eggs, cheese and avocado on a croissant. I would definitely stay here again...really good hotel read more

It was okay, but for the price, I expected a lot more. Good - Wonderful location and view. Rooms were clean. Decor was beautiful. Within walking distance to major tourist spots, shopping, and food. The room key/elevator system made me feel very safe. Bad - Walls are thin and you can hear a lot of what's going on around you. No microwave in rooms (you can add one for $35). Our fridge did not work and had to be replaced. No smart TV, which was shocking considering even cheaper hotels will have these. Parking is extremely expensive ($89/night...). Non-front facing staff were rude at times. Not horrible, but we won't be staying here again. read more

We stayed here during a long weekend in June and had a nice experience. Overall, the rooms are very clean, staff is professional, and the location is fantastic. Around the hotel everything was very well maintained and litter-free; there are nice parks, plazas and the river walk nearby as well. Several grocery stores within walking distance and tons of restaurants. Special shout out to Bernard who helped us check in and also assisted with different questions/requests including booking a river tour on our behalf. Bernard was friendly and welcoming and made the stay great. Our first room had an issue with the shower leaking in multiple spots. The front desk staff quickly responded by sending maintenance, who was not of much help. We requested another room and got one right away. Both rooms had an issue with the AC where the thermostat made it appear that the unit was working to lower the temp, however, it never made it below 70 no matter how low the thermostat was set to, so the AC system seems to have been locked systematically as both rooms had the same situation. The unit only ever produced barely cool air. Only one staff member seemed like they were not too polished. She was saying things like "I will allow that" regarding a late check out when we literally paid for it, costing upwards of $100. All in all, though, a good stay only due to hospitable staff and a clean environment. If we are in Chicago again in the future we will surely consider staying here again. read more

Came here for a conference and it was an overall, eh, hotel. Pros - Location is great, right in the heart of downtown, with plenty of restaurants to walk to - Conference rooms/facilities were nice - The views were great! Cons - Staff were unfriendly and unhelpful, so pro tip, use Yelp or Google...easier to get info - Amenities were eh. They need more water throughout the day and to try to keep up better with conference needs (never saw anyone throughout the day and water wasn't refilled) - Coffee shop was a bit overpriced, especially for the quality. Got a coffee with a sandwich (they are pre-made so no customization i.e. no cheese etc) and the bagel was stale (at 745a). Overall a okay experience, but won't be rushing back any time soon read more

Having traveled fairly extensively for work across numerous states and having stayed in a variety of properties in numerous major US cities (NYC, Chicago, NJ, Dallas-Fort Worth, Boston, New Orleans, FL, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, etc.) this hotel is a solid 4 Yelp star property. Other reviewers have both valid and non-consequential complaints ranging from bed bugs (valid) and expensive parking/valet fees (valid) to they didn't like the food or beverages in the hotel restaurants/lounges (not that important) or it was really crowded when they checked in (not that important). We did not experience any of these problems. For the matters we believe really are important to most travelers, we had a good experience on our stay. The front desk and housekeeping staffs were friendly and efficient. The mattress was not worn out and gave a good nights sleep. The room was obviously remodeled fairly recently on our visit and was clean and comfortable. The only complaint we might have is that the water pressure was low on the 26th floor. If you stay here try another floor to get closer to the booster pumps that all high rise hotels have to get better water pressure. There was adequate hot water. There was free WiFi that worked well for basic usage--it's public so use a VPN like all other hotels/motels and don't do sensitive browsing like banking on it. As other reviewers stated, many rooms offer a nice view, there are numerous restaurants within walking distance including those in other nearby hotels such as the Hyatt's expensive breakfast buffet that is superior to Swissotel's breakfast offerings and the Radisson's lunch/dinner restaurant around the corner. In our experience, most hotel restaurants and bars/lounges are not that great and are only convenient. So go outside the hotel if you want more than a convenient drink or meal. In fact, while there are a few really good restaurants near by, many do not get more than 3.5 Yelp stars, which is not good for a sit down place on Yelp. Swissotel is a conference hotel and so if you arrive while a conference is checking in, then it will be crowded and the restaurants/lounges noisy. When they are done checking in, it all goes back to normal. So if not in a hurry to check in, just go eat somewhere else and check in later after the conference attendees are done checking in. Although you can walk to many nearby restaurants and shops, lots of business people are on the streets during the daytime, and the area looks nicer than say downtown LA, NYC, or Dallas, the area is not safe. Chicago has one of the highest homicide rates in the country, and so taking an Uber at night is your best bet. Overall, like most places we stay on business, we would probably not stay here on a personal trip. However, if we had another conference or business trip to attend here, we would be fine staying at this property. read more

Overall, the hotel did its job. I slept very well, I think the beds and pillows are great. I was bummed to be placed in a room in the back of the hotel with no real view of anything interesting. I was also only on the sixth floor, so at night, I did hear commotion out on the street. Location was great and felt near to just about everything. The fitness center is awesome, staff was all around friendly, and using Chase points, it was affordable. Would I return? Probably not. I'd be interested to see what else is out there. read more

Nice hotel, however evening manager Simona and front desk staff member Diamonds' customer service is absolutely terrible. PLEASE check your room bill daily!

They tried charging me $40 for water that we didn't even drink. We stayed for 3 days and they claimed we drank $40 worth of water. We didn't even know they had water! Second, they woke us up on our last day there claiming we had already checked out at 6am. We had not and our checkout time wasn't until like 11am. This was NOT a nice hotel. This felt like a scam dressed up as a nice hotel. read more

My second stay here, and this time I have to add that the stunning view from the 27th floor was breathtaking. But otherwise I stand by my former review. Great location, excellent views, good place for a medium to larger conference. A little short staffed, I would have liked to see more fresh water in the conference rooms, and a shorter trip for fresh coffee than going all the way back to the front of the hotel. Conferences require coffee, there was always a line for the one barista, who by the way was excellent. Rooms are good, as is always the case with Swissotel, as expensive as the comparable area hotels. They do not have reasonable parking, you shouldn't drive here, it's pretty well served by Chicago's public transportation, the CTA. Park near one of the CTA train termini and leave your car there for your stay. Definitely take the train in from the airport, no need to rent a car in Chicago. I was a little confused getting off the train to find the hotel, and I grew up in Chicago. This area of the city has changed considerably. Lots of very expensive add-ons, the hotel is honest about them but just be careful. The restaurant is good but can't quite handle lunch and dinner rush times when a conference has packed in the hotel. Eat in the hotel when you need to, but do note that Chinatown, Greektown, and Bronzeville aren't far at all. A little farther out and you can find authentic Chicago style hot dogs (don't ask for ketchup), deep dish pizza, Italian Beef, real Korean, and authentic Polish cuisine. Like most hotels in the 21st century, you're not going to find a helpful concierge, so instead utilize YELP. Look for reviews by Chicago fat guys. read more

BEWARE! They had a wedding that went until 1am that was blasting music so loudly that my room shook from the bass. I booked this room so I could get a nights sleep, and was unable to sleep until the wedding ended at 1am. I called the front desk because I thought someone was just playing loud music, and they told me about the wedding. They offered "complimentary earplugs", as if that would help me sleep when my BED WAS SHAKING. This is not a serious hotel. They wanted the money for hosting a wedding with zero regard for their other guests. I will not be returning, and I doubt the management cares. For the price, this place is a joke. read more

Pros: Location Access Quick room service (Thank you Claudio for being so sweet and attentive!) Love the keycard Breakfast was okay (got the waffles) Cons: Thin rooms Valet could be more attentive to detail, meeting outside, bringing the car to the front, opening the doors and assisting with bags without being asked. They did start the car at one point but the whole experience for a 4 star hotel definitely had areas of opportunity. Price for a 4 star would be good if the rooms were more soundproof, softer towels and bedsheets, Probably won't stay here again and stay next door at the St. Regis but again, not an awful experience either! read more

This was a TERRIBLE experience. Property was fine but the last day, they woke us up at 6 AM saying that they had in the system we had already checked out. Not very relaxing. Then when I got home, they tried to charge us $34 for water. We were in the hotel only to sleep and that's it. Just me and my husband and we didn't drink literally any water. Neither of us even knew there was water in the room. SO sketchy. Will never use this hotel again read more

Due to extreme weather on the east coast our flight to Newark cancelled. When we arrived there was missing information that was suppose to secure our rooms. Simone sprung into action and made the necessary phone calls needed to remedy the situation. We were exhausted and so appreciative of her support. When our flight cancelled the next day, manager Jean, also made the necessary phone calls to continue our stay. He even sent up tea because I am a bit under the weather which was not expected but highly appreciated. I highly recommend staying at this hotel. They go above and beyond to make their guests stay comfortable and memorable The rooms were immaculate and comfortable. Our unexpected stay was delightful! Thank you read more

Please replace Heather as the manager of the Swissotel Chicago. She could not have been more uncaring or unfeeling or unhelpful when I needed to tap-to-pay to reserve my room there. Do not stay at the Swissotel Chicago. Do not stay in any Accor hotel. I got there after a nine hour plane flight, was refused accommodation, and further, she insisted on charging me for the first night of a stay she would not allow me to have, all because I needed to tap my phone in 2026 to pay for incidentals. Further, Heather lied about a physical credit card being required in the T and Cs. It just says credit card. read more

My friend and I did a staycation for her birthday this summer and this was a great hotel to do so. It was prime time location to basically everywhere we wanted to go, the riverwalk, state street, Michigan Ave, etc. Central location if you plan to explore the city during your stay. The lobby area was nicely decorated and very inviting for you to have a cocktail and conversation, if you wanted to stay in for the night. We had a river view (I think that was the name) so we got to watch the sun rise over the river and Navy Pier. 1000/10, highly recommend. Room was clean and spacious, staff were nice and accommodating, and house keeping was quick and efficient during our stay. read more

We loved staying at swissotel! A friend of mine discovered this place online and I'm so glad we decided on booking it for our short weekend in Chicago. It was in the perfect location and had spectacular views, for a reasonable price. The walk to a train or bus was not bad and it was insanely close to the lake cruise we took from the river walk. A huge bonus is the amazing skyline view and state of the art workout room. We didn't get a chance to use this space on our short stay but this is a huge bonus to have access to a gym this nice in the city. Everything from pelotons to a separate studio room, I was impressed. The beds were very comfortable, everything was clean and the bathroom was sizable and well-lit. read more

The Swissôtel Chicago truly impressed me as a beautiful property offering an exceptional stay in the heart of the city. The overall experience was highly positive, and I would definitely choose to stay here again.The room provided breathtaking, amazing views that were easily the highlight of the accommodations. The beds were incredibly comfy, ensuring a restful sleep every night. While the pillows were a little flat, that was a minor drawback given the overall comfort. The bathroom experience was excellent, featuring hot water and great pressure in the shower. It is worth noting that the hotel does have some added fees per day. Although I typically prefer a fully inclusive price, the quality of the stay ultimately made it worth the extra cost.The location of the Swissôtel is unbeatable. It sits right in the middle of downtown, on the river, making it walking distance to a huge array of attractions, dining, and shopping. The service was also top-notch, especially thanks to Bernard who checked us in. He was super helpful with everything from check-in details to providing recommendations for tours and managing bookings. Personalized assistance like that truly elevates a hotel stay.During our visit, we dined at The Palm, and the experience was delicious. As expected for a high-end establishment, it is a pricey steakhouse, but if you're looking for a luxurious meal, the quality certainly justifies the splurge.The combination of its prime location, beautiful views, comfortable rooms, and excellent staff (shout-out again to Bernard!) makes the Swissôtel Chicago a must-stay. Highly recommended! read more

This was my first time in Chicago as I had just run the Chicago Marathon. I had a few extra days after to explore the city. I chose the Swissôtel for a couple of days and had a great experience from check-in, location, and the ambiance of the hotel itself (with a couple of eateries near the lobby.) I became a quick fan of the Smash Burgers at Amuse. Sooo good, I ended up having 3 of them during my stay. I had such a great experience, I ended up extending my stay 2 additional nights. During my additional night, there were some repairs happening in a room next to mine. It was a bit distracting, so I brought it up to the front desk. Alfred was very understanding and went above and beyond to look into my concerns (as I had work calls during the day and the noise was distracting). He let me know it would continue through the day and happily accommodated me in a much nicer room. Overall, Alfred was just understanding,empathetic and had great communication throughout. The Swissôtel in Chicago has earned a loyal customer and I look forward to visiting again! read more

This was a nice hotel next to the river. It's within walking distance of everything and very convenient for that aspect. My coworker and I stayed here last month. His room was in a corner and had an odd layout but it had a great view and was really spacious. My room was a bit smaller with less of a view but still nice. I love the gym on the top floor. They have a lot of equipment and a couple of Peloton bikes. The view up there is so nice as well! They even have a room on the side for yoga or Pilates - or just more privacy. Everything was clean and the staff was nice. I'd stay here again. read more

A solid upscale hotel located in downtown Chicago that is not too far from the Navy pier and has a lot of great options around in walking distance. The decor and design of the hotel is very nice although the one area that I felt could use improvement was the managing of the bar area. Being that of a beer influencer with also a background in bartending, the bar was definitely an area that could use some stronger management. The service was disappointing for all that was planned at the hotel during my time there where there were multiple conferences, and some of the tenders over the period weren't always the best in the attitude area. Which for them wasn't my probably the best because there was a lot of tips that they could have picked up from all of the business people there, not too mention other guests that maybe weren't part of the conference. The fact that people were just showing up at a point with their own bottles and mixers at the bar kind of went to this. Rooms were nice with some great views and the food offerings they have from catering as well as the restaurant were decent enough as well. read more

View of Navy Pier was gorgeous, but while staying there an irreplaceable jacket when missing.
