We picked a city view and this did not disappoint! We were on the 10 floor looking out to the lake . The team of people from the door person , front desk team and restaurant were very helpful. Would definitely choose this hotel again .

The hotel is outdated. The exterior is nice but the rooms are outdated and the hallways are too. Staff is ok but a bit unprofessional.

5.0 / 10.0

The room was comfortable and clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location was wonderful and I loved being across from the park where you could easily go for a walk to enjoy the beautiful Fall weather and get some exercise in a safe location. I would stay here again.

The hotel is beautiful and nice. Completely quiet other than the cars driving by. Now I booked a city view but the room I had was a park view. When I checked in no one really smiled at me, I did not feel welcome. The conditioner in the shower was empty, I had to buy some.

I liked the location with regard to Grant Park. I did not like no microwave oven in room.

4.0 / 10.0

the staff is not very friendly and they try to always put you in an accessible room if you book with Expedia. the bar is the worst! the bartender literally had no idea how to make a martini and yet they charge $17 or more for one- the food at the hotel bar and restaurant is even worse- they give you a ten dollar credit but it's really not worth it

Our room didn't look like this photo which seems a bit more updated. Lighting options weren't enough for the lack of natural light. Storage is very good in bathroom though counter space small. Apart from that, clean & simple. Staff was always very friendly and accomodating. The attached restaurant is a great bonus.

2.0 / 10.0

The staff and room were excellent. However, the windows in the room were poor. The outside noise sounded like the windows were wide open. I understand it's a city but teens doing burnouts and racing up and down the streets on dirt bikes all night long is not what I paid for. No need for a radio because ever car going by the song was broadcasted right into the room

5.0 / 10.0

The hotel was amazing the location was great in Chicago the restaurant inside the hotel was wonderful. I had a great stay and I will be back under different circumstances I was here for a funeral but I will definitely be back to stay at this hotel.

3.0 / 10.0

Stayed for a 3-day conference. The hotel had trouble finding our reservations that were booked through Hotels.com. Not sure who’s which of us is to blame for that. The finally day of the conference ended at noon, so attendees had to check out before and store luggage. While that offered service was fantastic, the process for retrieving the luggage upon our return was a long and seemed disorganized. Not to mention, the hotel lobby was way too small to accommodate the hundreds of people that were in the same position. The staff was friendly and did their best under the circumstances. Much appreciation for them.

5.0 / 10.0

Wonderful stay! Friendly staff, great restaurant and service, stylish boutique hotel. Beautiful views!

10.0 / 10.0

I felt like home immediately when I entered the room. The size of the room is just enough for 1 person. I love how clean and comfortable the room is. The staff is very nice. The location is perfect.

10.0 / 10.0

Lovely renovation of an historic property, just across the street from an equally lovely park. Super friendly staff.

5.0 / 10.0

Stayed one night for the BlackPink concert at Solider Field. Love this hotel. Not only the location to the concert venue but the stay was amazing. From the time I drove up to check in, the valet guy was helpful in getting me a cart and telling me not to worry about leaving my car parked up front as I check in. The front desk folks were friendly, efficient and welcoming. The room was clean and fresh. Fantastic shower. Great view of the lake (lucky me!) Check out was a breeze. Friendly front desk (Kiera) and I even had my car waiting up front. Chicago might be a big city but the LeMeridien made it feel small and family like! Thanks for the welcoming stay.

Fabulous one night stay at the hotel. Fabulous location to walking everywhere close (Grant Park, Shedd, Field Museum), and taking public transportation to everything else. Comfortable room stylishly decorated; splurge for the view!!

5.0 / 10.0

Amazing service, great on site eatery and super convenient location. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The best part is that they allowed us to check in early after an early morning of traveling. That was a great start to our vacation!

3.0 / 10.0

Small disappointments added up: Two people, one robe. No more available in the hotel. Asked to have additional towels sent up and we had to go down and get them from the front desk because they don’t have anyone available to bring them up to you. Not great when you’ve already undressed for the evening. Had pumps of body wash and shampoo, the conditioner pump was empty. Perhaps have housekeeping check it when prepping the room. Room service is available, BUT you have to go down to the restaurant to pick it up, or wait 40 minutes for someone to become available to deliver and have $12.50 added to the bill. Again, not great having to go down and pick it up when you’re already undressed for the evening. It seems as though they’re trying to be a top hotel, posting pretty pictures on their website, but there is much to be desired.

The hotel was GORGEOUS! Elevators are quick! The bistro downstairs has the BEST burgers and they are HUGE! The room was amazing. The bed was super comfortable. The lake is within walking distance and Grant Park is directly across the street! Shoutouts to desk clerks Kiera and Quentin for their superb customer service and hats off to the valet staff and Jesus! I will definitely visit again!!! Thank you for a wonderful stay!!!
