    Cira Restaurant
    Carla R.

    We loved our stay at the Hoxton! It felt luxury and cozy at the same time. The staff were very helpful and friendly! We were able to walk to many restaurants and shops in the West loop and even ate at the restaurant in the hotel. The restaurant, Cira, had delicious food and drinks and was an easy late night stop. We loved our stay!

    This hotel is very convenient and walkable for the area that it is in. There are plenty of restaurants and shops nearby when needed as well as some coworking spaces. The staff helping to book a corporate event was very helpful throughout and flexible with changes. We were lucky enough to get availability pretty close to our team meet up and appreciated the service. There is a coworking space within the building however it is booked up quickly and a little bit more expensive than other options in the area though it is convenient. The pool on the rooftop is very small, but it is nice to have one if you want to use it. There's also a restaurant in the hotel as well as a bar with live music in the basement. The hotel restaurant is the best breakfast option within a few blocks ** From what I heard across our team staying at the hotel, there was a consensus about the air conditioners, being very loud as well as some frustration that you can't sit in the lobby restaurant area unless you are eating. There wasn't a lot of space in areas of the hotel where you could do some work if you were a guest of the hotel, so if you are a very small team either plan to have your meals around working or reserve a space elsewhere. Otherwise, the hotel staff were very responsive by text when anything wasn't working, we didn't have any issues other than air conditioners throughout our stay. The only thing to share is that if you are booking for a corporate event, this hotel is very lively and busy no matter the day of the week. If you're wanting something more calm and relaxed, maybe book hotel out of the specific area.

    Was in the mood for drinks and what better place to go to other than the Hoxton. Walking in the lobby is the place to be. The ambience is has an old charm but modern feel to it. On thr first floor is the restaurant Cira. The is plenty of seating in he bar area. It's filled with couches and tables and the bar itself can seat at least 10 people. This particular day they had a dj and it was a vibe! This was a great way to start my Saturday.

    Ugh! What a fun TIME! The Hoxton was a treat and a half. We called upon arrival to see if any upgrades could be done, and not only were they able to get it done fast, they did it with kindness, professionalism, and such care. We were moved up to the corner room on the highest floor to give us a better view, they left a handwritten note and a bag of popcorn for us, and the room was absolutely quaint, and adorable. So much so that even without a smart tv (they're working on this!) I still absolutely give 5 stars. The location is a 6/5 and you get a great sense of the city without having to step outside because so many great restaurants and bars are connected! Lazy Bird is a special little fun way to end the night. The art around the hotel corridors themselves were stunning, the beds were comfortable, the communication via text was flawless and easy, checking in & checking out flexible, extremely professional and attentive staff, everything felt like a small detail that had been taken into consideration, with thought and a sense of experience in the interior designs and structures. From the stand out pink artwork hanging to the beautiful green bathroom tiles, the Hoxton is one of the nicest hotels in Chicago.

    Tea drinkers: electric kettles are standard in the rooms!

    The Hoxton hit all my hotel high notes: steamer in the room as standard, hot water kettle and good tea, plenty of room to hang my clothes, and a Bluetooth speaker to facilitate in room dance parties. This location is incredible. Tons of shops and restaurants right outside the door. I don't play pickle ball but if you do, there are tons of courts opposite the hotel. I liked the Hoxton in London; I loved it in Chicago.

    stopped in for drinks after dinner with the girls and it was a nice spot. The wait for the bar was a little long but our drinks were well made so it wasn't a complaint. I liked the ambiance and space inside. I would come back if they hosted an event or had a dj.

    I was NOT a lodging guest; this was a mere stop along the happy hour route. Grab a cocktail on the rooftop. Cozy vibe with a great view of the City. The pool area is cute if you have a small group lounging on a warm summer day. Otherwise seating is endless both inside & outdoors. ~Christy

    Came for cocktails after dinner. The music and atmosphere were better than the cocktails. I would come back for the music and vibes.

    Lobby bar

    I spent 7 nights at the Hoxton Hotel in the west loop area of Chicago this month. It's really an awesome hotel. Beautiful place with great attentive service at the front desk, at the bars and at the restaurants. Room service and the room cleaning crew were great also. it has a huge lobby with a large restaurant and bar and is very spacious, modern and inviting. There is a bar in the basement, Lazy Bird, serving great cocktails and live music. I didn't go to the restaurant up on the roof. I also joined their Dis-loyalty program which offered a 20% discount on the first stay and 10% off all food and drink. Well worth the $18 a month cost with these discounts. The neighborhood is also awesome - many restaurants and bars within an easy walking distance of the property. I'm going back to Chicago and will stay here again!

    Love the lounge bar! The food was quite amazing! The drinks were top notch! A must-go for sure.

    Well decorated room

    This was the perfect place for a small team offsite. We stayed at the hotel and rented a conference room for a few days to work out off. A top notch bar and restaurant made it easy to grab meals and drinks for the day we weren't able to get out. The room is on the smaller side but that's what I expect when I am in a big city. The room was well decorated with lots of little touches that made it feel truly like a boutique hotel. The bathroom was beautiful with the tile and waterfall shower. The hotel just had so much character. During the day it was bright and cheery. Made you feel like you were in a coffee shop that you could work in all day. In the evenings, it transformed into a cool and trendy bar with 90's hip hop. Even on a Tuesday night it was packed with well dressed people stopping by for drinks after dinner. I even loved the funny little signs like the ones that said "stuff" for closets. The restaurant served delicious food that was a blend of American and Mediterranean. Everyone enjoyed their food. They also had a small coffee bar inside but I didn't try the coffee. I really loved the conference rooms here. They are perfect for groups smaller than 10. The rooms were cozy (and you got the bonus of the fireplace smoke smell from the bread ovens below). The space was well decorated and made you feel like you were in a classy library. You felt like you were working out of a WeWork. So much better than the boring and sterile conference rooms you typically get at a hotel. The gym is limited. It's actually a yoga studio with 2 Pelaton bikes and one rack of weights. If more than 5 people wanted to use the gym, it wouldn't work with the limited equipment. Wish it could've been summer time during our stay. I heard the pool is really nice. Overall this is a great boutique hotel at the heart of an amazing area of Chicago. Highly recommend.

    Room- bed was comfortable but the lighting needed work
    Carol K.

    Hmm. I wanted to love this place but I just didn't for the price I paid didn't really match up with what I go. On the positive side- this boutique hotel is located in one of the hottest neighborhoods right now in Chicago, the West Loop. So it has location going for it. It also has a beautiful lobby area, comfortable bed and an amazing rooftop bar and restaurant. But what it is missing is the service and functionality you expect in a boutique hotel. First of all the rooms are small and poorly lit. Oh sure- you can turn on the overhead light which is so bright you want to squint, or your other option are one floor lamp and the lights on either side of the bed which don't cast much light. There is no closet- rather a rod that you hang your clothes on which kind of makes you feel you are in a boutique shop but disappointingly it's just your clothes hanging on the rack! The bathroom is also small but functional- barely enough room for the sink and toilet and a smallish shower tucked into a room where you want the door to stay open to fend off claustrophobia but it just won't unless you stick a shoe into the door. And know if you plan to work in the room, there is no desk. There is a corner chair that you can balance your laptop on your lap with or settle on the bed. Someone did say you can go to their rent a space work area on the 2nd floor but I learned that AFTER I left the hotel. Which leads me to my final point. The front desk staff should tell you a little about the hotel and if the work space is a reality, suggest to those of us traveling on business that we may want to work there. The front desk area is so dark, and the front desk employees so encumbered by other work, that I was standing there for awhile waiting to check in. And when I checked out- they said they would email me a copy of my receipt, which they didn't and I ended up having to call and request it. And what did I pay for all of this inconvenience? $527 (with taxes) a night. Pretty pricey for a room that really didn't work for me. I'll go to the bars and restaurants as they are great in the Hoxton. But as for staying here again? While the convenience to my business need is good, the downsides have me seeking other options.

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.

    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

    I stayed at the EMC2 Autograph Collection in Chicago and it's the kind of place that makes you…read morebriefly reconsider your own apartment choices. The room? Smart without trying too hard. Clean lines, moody lighting, and that subtle blend of science-meets-art that somehow feels both curated and effortless. The art isn't decorative filler; it's intentional. The whole property has that boutique confidence: not loud, not trendy-for-the-sake-of-trendy...just precise. The aesthetic walks a tightrope between laboratory chic and soulful design, and it doesn't fall. The restaurant deserves its own paragraph. The olive cake alone should have a publicist. The food is thoughtful, layered, and memorable without being pretentious. It feels like someone actually tasted everything before approving the menu; which, these days, is not a given. Location? Ideal. Walkable, central, easy. The gym? Surprisingly solid. Not the sad afterthought treadmill situation. An actual usable space. But here's the thing. Beautiful rooms fade. Art becomes background. Even olive cake, tragically, gets finished. What stays is service. And Nia. Nia is the reason my long stay didn't feel like a stay. It felt like being known. Her smile isn't transactional. Her care isn't performative. The attention to detail is quiet and precise. She remembered my name everyday and I was there for a while. Makes you think, "Oh, someone is actually paying attention." There's a difference between service and hospitality. Nia understands the difference. That's what brings you back.

Our view was stunning and I loved I could see downtown and the river from our room. We booked the cinema suite for a cute movie night and I loved that. They had a cute popcorn station with candy and pop, plus you can order room service. The spa was amazing and the facilities were nice.

    My wife and I are finally reflecting on our stay at The Langham, Chicago, from June 2021, when we…read moregot married and spent a few nights there with family. Although we grew up in the Chicago suburbs and know the city well, it was our first time staying at the Langham, and it left a strong impression. The most striking aspect was how spacious the room felt. We likely stayed in a Premier Room, which was quite large by city standards. The bed was massive, very comfortable, and just the right firmness. A detail that stands out is the space between the foot of the bed and the wall where the TV was mounted, which makes the room feel open and calm rather than cramped. The décor was elegant without feeling stuffy, highlighted by thoughtful touches like an espresso machine. The bathroom was another highlight: the frosted-glass window offered privacy while maintaining a sense of connection, and the rain shower had excellent water pressure and felt indulgent. The location is fantastic, convenient for work in the Loop, time in Grant Park, shopping on Michigan Avenue, or dining in River North or Fulton Market. During our trip, we ate nearby both nights, which made getting around easy and stress-free. The staff was warm and helpful throughout our stay, and breakfast at the hotel restaurant was memorable, even if the details are a bit hazy now. The lobby is beautiful, and several family members who stayed with us also commented on how much they enjoyed the hotel. At the time, pricing felt mid-range for a luxury hotel in Chicago, offering excellent value. It was summer, likely a less expensive time to visit, but even so, considering the room size, comfort, service, and location, it seemed like money well spent year-round. Thank you for such a wonderful experience. We would happily return and are eager to explore other Langham properties worldwide.

    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.

Check in is quick, rooms are fine (and clean), and the executive lounge is nice. I was warned about eating in the bar on the first floor, which I hadn't done in a few years, but it was getting late, and the weather stunk. I saw friends in the bar area, so I took root at the table nearby. Service was fine, and I enjoyed a few of the Amber bee on draft. The menu looked good, and I ended up with a steak fried rice bowl. The steak was gross. It didn't even look like steak that should be served. It was fatty and tasteless. I ate less than 1/2 the rice and 1/3 of the steak. I wasn't starving, so it wasn't a huge deal, but those who told me to avoid the bar area for food were right.

    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.
