This is my favorite property in the US and if can be a tad pricey on weekends but worth it for a weekend trip. Very convenient access to the L and Amtrak Station and Michigan Ave . and Wonderful rooms!

Brian Strauss

Excellent hotel . Better than a Westin, nicer towels, better rooms, Bose home theater in rooms. When I complemented them on the apples in the gym they sent me a fruit basket.

Carlos Lopez

Super centric location !! Great city views . Rooms are comfortable and clean . They have a Bose sound system in each room, very nice! Perfect for business trips or vacation.

Natalie M

This is one of the nicest hotels we’ve ever stayed at. The staff is so nice and helpful. The room is spacious and beautiful. The bed is soft. Great location.

Jeffrey-Ryan B.

Make sure you book a room online even if for that night as the rate at check-in is usually $150 more without a reservation . Use the App to make a reservation easily xx

Andrew C

All hotel room prices are astronomical, but the staff and service are worth it... the basic rooms are modern, but nothing special + the suites, though, are very spacious (esp with a balcony )!!!

Herman Sim

Great customer service. Would recommend this hotel for any first time travellers and foodies to chicago. Will be staying here again my next visit

Christopher Michael

Nice hotel . Beautiful contemporary rooms that have been updated. Check out the 5th floor terrace for a great view of the city .

Mitchell S

One of the few hotels that welcomes dogs . Echo Limousine (773-774-1074) also welcomes dogs , and is the only car service I found that does not charge extra for dogs. Reasonable rates , $60 from O'Hare.

Sherri Souza

Great hotel in downtown on Magnificent Mile. Upscale rooms with scented pillows to help you unwind, relax or recover!

Ladybug Williams

The best hotel ever. Staff is great, service great, everything about the hotel was fantastic. Looking forward to my nxt stay.

Adora Hague

I love the room very quiet . Freindly staff . Breakfast selection should be improved.

Room service dining was very good. Excellent service all around.

David Thompson

If you are a Hilton Honors member ask for an upgrade to room 1609. Best room in the hotel with a giant terrace overlooking the city .

Shane Gallagher

If you do self parking you only have 24 to exist the garage before they start charging you per house because the garage is operated my a third party.

Ethan Adams

Great place for events ! Tracey did a great job helping us host our huge community event .

Reem

Luxury , easy access to magnificent mile, navy pier and the lovely free seasonal trolley

Phil Edge

MAKE SURE you seek out Eddie at the bar and take his recommendations for steak and/or seafood .

????Nhag “All My Check Ins Are Genuine And Myself Alone - No Tagging”

Check the bar for a good service and dry martini . Sergio n co will look after u. Guess where he is from! :)

Pedigree Brand

This Michelin-recommended hotel welcomes dogs 40 lbs. or under. There is no pet service fee, but you’ll have to sign a pet waiver. Bowl and leash will be provided by the hotel .

Ignacio

Great hotel , great location. Close to everything, and it wasn't expensive .

Betsy Micklem

Rooms with views of Michigan Ave are amazing

Shane Gallagher

King superior rooms have a great bathroom with separated tubs and shower .

Rick Murray

The rooftop bar is better - and a lot less of a scene - than the Wit... Great vibe.

Maya Rubalcaba

Try the watermelon salad , great for summer on the outdoor patio ! Also have a good white wine sangria Read more

The Terrace Rooftop has one of the most stunning views of Chicago. Priceless.

Ryan Harmon

This is the place to be on Michigan Ave . Great location, better staff , fantastic rooms. However, hit it up on Hotwire and save 50%

Coats

Best hotel in the city . Ask for an executive suite. You won't be disappointed!

Nicole Immel-Porter

Great hotel and there's an elavator that goes right into Nordstrom.

Charlatte Yellamo

Happening lobby. Great outdoor patio .

The only luxury you get at this hotel is superficial. It’s very pretentious but does not deliver the service you expect at this level. Would never stay in again.

Gabriela Prior

2nd time here. Great days! Highly recommend the healthy breakfast .

Marie Edwards

This hotel is just awesome!!!!

Kelly

Currently a "lobby hotel ", but rooms soon to undergo renovation. Only the 3rd hotel I've walked out of...

Brooke Ossenkop

Sleep menu with h20 products and pillows is a must! Free Internet and huge baths!

Jeffrey Brothers

Don't stay in the rooms on level 5. Smells from food cooking in the restaurant waft into the rooms and you can't open the windows to get rid of the smells

Dan Fetzner

Was supposed to have a room with a king bed, instead got a room with a full size (not even a queen). Their attempt to make up for it was free breakfast . No thanks, won't ever be back.

Glenn Anderson

When you're in Chicago make sure you stay at the Conrad!

Kulvir Gill

Make sure to get a room with a seperate tub and shower .

Bobby Roe

The location is terrific, but no in-room coffee service and no in-room microwave are strong negatives for me.

Sam Kirkland

Best hotel in chicago

Mark Palace

Taxi drops you off on street level ..reception on second floor:-)
