Hyatt Regency McCormick Place Chicago
I stayed at this hotel for the Chicago Marathon, and was pleasantly surprised to find how close it was to the packet pickup location—just a short walk away. The hotel itself was spotless, with clean rooms and a welcoming atmosphere. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. On race day, they even provided shuttle service, which made everything so much easier and stress-free. I appreciated the thoughtful touch, especially when you're busy preparing for a big event. Overall, the experience was excellent, and I’d definitely recommend this hotel to anyone attending events in Chicago. The convenience, cleanliness, and service all make it a top choice.
Marriott Marquis Chicago
I was in Chicago for the marathon, and hotel availability was super tight that week—so I ended up booking a Marriott Marquis, something I wouldn’t normally consider. But honestly, this unexpected choice turned out to be one of the best decisions of my trip. After a long day of running, having a comfortable, clean, and well-designed room made all the difference. The staff were friendly and efficient, but what truly stood out was the view—right across from the room, you’ve got an open, breathtaking vista of Lake Michigan. Waking up to that calm blue expanse every morning felt like a little luxury treat. Whether you’re here for events or just exploring the city, this hotel delivers a great balance of comfort, location, and beauty. It’s not just a place to stay—it’s part of the experience. Definitely worth it.
Hilton Chicago
Staying at the Hilton Chicago was an absolute delight. The front desk staff were incredibly warm and welcoming—especially helpful when I struggled with English, as they patiently used translation tools to assist me without any rush. My room offered a city view, not the lakefront, but it had fantastic views of downtown skyscrapers, especially at night. The space itself was generously sized, and while the decor felt a bit dated, cleanliness was top-notch—everything was spotless and well-maintained. Bottled water isn’t provided in-room; you need to pick it up at the front desk, which is a minor inconvenience but totally manageable. Location-wise, this hotel is unbeatable—right across from the lakefront and Grant Park. Walking distance to Millennium Park and the Art Institute makes exploring effortless. The Magnificent Mile and Chicago Riverwalk are a bit farther, but a quick 3-line bus stop right outside the hotel gets you there in minutes. Being near the business district, close to the subway, and just steps from Macy’s adds to the convenience. There are countless restaurants nearby, and even a Starbucks on the ground floor—perfect for grabbing a coffee or snack anytime. Established in the 1920s, this historic property has hosted countless famous guests over the decades, giving it real character and charm. If I’m ever back in Chicago, I’ll definitely choose this hotel again.
The Blackstone, Autograph Collection
Staying at The Blackstone in Chicago was an absolute highlight of my trip. Located right on Michigan Avenue, it's incredibly convenient—just steps from the subway, shopping districts, and all the city's top attractions. The hotel has a timeless, historic charm that feels elegant without being overwhelming. Every detail, from the lobby to the guest rooms, is thoughtfully designed with sophistication and warmth. The staff were friendly and attentive throughout our stay, making us feel truly welcome. With its prime location, exceptional ambiance, and outstanding value, this place stands out as one of the best in the city. I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Chicago—and I’ll definitely be coming back.
Sentral Michigan Avenue
Staying in room 2001 at Sentral Michigan Avenue was an absolute highlight of my trip to Chicago! The view from the window was breathtaking—perfectly capturing the city skyline, especially at night. The staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome, offering genuine care and attention throughout my stay. From check-in to checkout, they were friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist. The apartment itself was well-equipped with everything I needed: a fully functional kitchenette, high-quality bedding, a powerful coffee maker, and even a steamer for clothes. It felt like home away from home. The location is unbeatable—just steps from public transit and surrounded by great dining options. I highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Chicago. I’ll definitely be back!
The Wheeler Mansion
We couldn’t have asked for a better weekend getaway with my girlfriends at The Wheeler Mansion. From the moment we arrived, the elegance and charm of this boutique hotel set the tone for an unforgettable stay. Each room was uniquely decorated with distinctive artwork and vintage touches—no two spaces felt the same. The grand foyer and beautifully furnished living and dining areas made us feel like we’d stepped into a storybook. David, our concierge, went above and beyond—he was attentive, friendly, and even drove us to the theater for our show, Hairspray. He also recommended dinner at Pilsen Yards, which turned out to be one of the best meals of the trip: delicious food and top-notch service. We left feeling completely refreshed and inspired. I can’t wait to return, especially in summer when the grounds are in full bloom—just looking at the photos, it’s clear this place is even more magical in warmer weather.
Le Meridien Essex Chicago
Staying at Le Meridien Essex Chicago was an absolute delight. Located right in the heart of downtown, the hotel puts you steps away from vibrant streets, shops, and restaurants. Walking to the lake is effortless—perfect for a scenic evening stroll. The city skyline at night is breathtaking, especially from the room windows. While parking can be a bit tricky, it’s a small trade-off considering everything else. The location, service, and room quality are all top-notch. It’s a fantastic choice for travelers who want convenience without compromising on style or comfort. I’ll definitely return.
Homewood Suites by Hilton Chicago Downtown South Loop
This was an absolutely fantastic stay! I’d definitely come back to this hotel on my next trip to Chicago. The rooms are spacious, clean, and incredibly comfortable—perfect for a family getaway. The location is ideal: just minutes from downtown via public transit, making it super easy to explore the city. The breakfast buffet is outstanding—huge variety and fresh, delicious options that everyone in the family loved. But what really made the kids happy was the pool area; they spent hours splashing around and having fun every evening. It’s such a great place to unwind after a day of sightseeing. Highly recommend this hotel for families or anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and a welcoming atmosphere.
Hilton Garden Inn Chicago Downtown South Loop
Staying here for three nights was a great experience overall. The location is excellent—just a short walk from Michigan Lake and convenient for getting around downtown Chicago via public transit. My room had a side view of the lake, which was absolutely beautiful, especially in the morning light. While the hotel is established with older-style decor, it’s well-maintained and spotlessly clean. The double-bed room was surprisingly spacious—perfect for four people without feeling cramped. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the value for money was excellent. Despite its vintage charm, the comfort and convenience make it a standout choice. I’d definitely stay here again when visiting Chicago.
Hampton Inn Chicago McCormick Place
Staying at this Hampton Inn was an absolute delight! The location is unbeatable—just a 5- to 6-minute walk to McCormick Place, making it super convenient for conferences or events. Right on the ground floor, there’s a cozy Italian restaurant and even a Haidilao hot pot spot—perfect for a quick bite or a fun meal without leaving the building. Across the street is a convenience store, so grabbing snacks or essentials is never an issue. It’s also just a 15-minute stroll to Chinatown, ideal if you want to explore local food or shops. What really stood out was the valet parking service—so helpful, especially when arriving by car. The room isn’t huge, but it’s well-designed, clean, and comfortable with everything you need. Overall, the value and convenience here are outstanding. I’d definitely stay again and recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Chicago.

Staying at this hotel was a fantastic experience, especially for business travelers. The location is incredibly convenient—just a short walk from McCormick Place, making it easy to get to meetings or events without hassle. I appreciated the complimentary breakfast, which offered a good variety of options and helped start my day right. The fitness center was well-maintained and had everything I needed for a quick workout. Plus, the room had a nice view of the city skyline, adding a touch of charm to the stay. Clean, comfortable, and efficient—this place truly delivers on comfort and convenience. Definitely my go-to choice when visiting Chicago again.
Hilton Garden Inn Chicago McCormick Place
This hotel is fantastic—my favorite part was the view from the window, with the lake on one side and stunning sunsets on the other. It’s not right in the heart of downtown Chicago, but it’s super close to Chinatown and the central business district, making everything easily accessible. There’s a Starbucks, Haidilao, and a supermarket just steps away, so convenience is top-notch. The nearby subway station makes commuting effortless, and getting to the airport is a breeze. The only downside? Prices skyrocket during events like the marathon—up to $3,500 per night! That’s definitely steep, but if you’re visiting outside peak times, the value is solid. Overall, this place offers great comfort, excellent location, and unforgettable views—definitely a standout choice for travelers.
