Fantastic Location
Set atop Tiffany & Company looking over Michigan Avenue, this hotel is on prime real estate along Chicago's fabled Magnificent Mile. Guests say it's the perfect location for great restaurants and shopping and the lake is just a short walk away.

Elegance Perfected
The elegance of the hotel and the attention to detail by the staff is exceptional. Guests say the staff are incredible and remember everyone's name. Beds are turned down each evening, and there's complimentary water and newspapers. Guests say this is everything a 5-star hotel should be.

Great Hotel Dining
The hotel has three full service restaurants each with its own décor and cuisine, and each one gets rave reviews from guests. They love the afternoon tea in The Lobby and Shanghai Terrace's supper club ambiance.

negative:
Some Public Spaces Can Be Small
When the hotel is full, it can feel a little crowded here, especially in the lobby and other public spaces.
negative:
Luxury Can Be Pricey
Luxury has its price and at this hotel, guests say you will certainly run up a bill quickly. Most, however, say a stay here is worth every penny and that their hotel experience was as close to perfect as they've had anywhere.
negative:
No Irons in Rooms
Rooms here have no iron or ironing board but a call to the front desk will bring both to you. If you know you will want one during your stay you can request one when booking, or arriving at the hotel. They'll even note your preference for the next time you stay.
