“The Place to Stay in Downtown Chicago”

The hotel is beautiful inside and out. This landmark hotel has preserved it's classic elegance in the room, it's restaurant, and in every detail. It also has a beautiful view of downtown Chicago. It is within walking distance to the major theaters and dining in Chicago, and has easy access to transportation. The staff are very friendly and pleasant. I really enjoyed my stay here, and highly recommend Hotel Burnham to anyone wanting to stay the heart of Chicago.

Area recommendations
Downtown Chicago - Loop....State & Washington Streets.

“Our holiday stay at the Burnham”

The Burnham is a wonderful smallish hotel, kitty corner from the old Marshall field's Building and just a block from the Picasso sculpture. The neighborhood just has a nicer, "old Chicago" feel than the glitzy, garish Mag Mile. And the hotel is a gem. Beautifully decoated yet homey. Wonderful dining room.bar. And a very friendly, accommodating staff – one of the best I've ever encountered. Looking forward to staying there again soon!

Area recommendations
The Loop and South Loop are awesome, especially at this Christmassy time of the year, with the holiday fair taking place by the Picasso sculpture.
Comment from the hotel's management
A great many thanks for letting us know how you enjoyed your stay with us. The whole team will be excited to here your thoughts. We love our little hotel in the city and are so pleased you did too.

“Special request was not granted!”

All I wanted was to be in the quiet room for a good night sleep. The hotel didn't bother to read my special request at all though I made a reservation far before my visit. Upon checking in, I couldn't be relocated to the quieter room, so I had 3 tired days and nights. Would never go back there!

Comment from the hotel's management
I am so sorry! You should always receive the level of service you expect during your stay and with all requests.We do value your feedback and the team will be briefed on your comments

“Located Well in Chicago”

Second hotel I stayed in in Chicago, this time in the loop rather than in the Magnificent Mile area. Location wise I definitely preferred it, shops and eateries all around in both, but get more for your money in the Loop. The hotel itself was ok. Decent recommendations in terms of where to go, but not informed about free extras, so had to go back down for mini bar credit etc. compared to the Kimpton hotel I stayed in in Boston. Room for a 2 double was small and very limited drawer and space in general. Noise at times was very bad, but goes with the location. Ice was 2 floors away which was annoying. Mini bar only had half the things in it and first day was bothered by someone even after only checking in that day to check the mini bar. Really something that should have been done beforehand rather than waking me up after a flight to check. Beds however were comfortable and the freebies are always useful.

“Smaller than expected but great for something different!”

I believe I booked the most basic room with a queen sized bed. It was much smaller than expected, there was no view out the window but an enclosed duct shaft, and a buzzing coming from the closet....but still a cool little room and something much different than your every day hotel. Pictures only accurately represented the bedding decoration of my room. There was no "pillow library" like the description says and the room didnt have a coffee maker; they charged an outrageous amount in the lobby instead. Better off walking a block to a coffee shop. I still rated this hotel highly though because it was in an awesome location to get to lots of different places, had so much more character than the normal hotel, and the staff, including valet, was incredibly kind and helpful!

Area recommendations
Downtown-Loop - walking distance from lots of downtown attractions.
Getting around
We walked almost everywhere except when we took the water taxi. Walked to sears tower, then walked to the water taxi station at madison street where we took a $2/person boat ride to chinatown (also went near navy pier) and went back to the dock to catch the taxi back.
What to pack
Umbrella - best to walk or use public transportation when staying downtown and getting caught in the rain is a good possibility. Good shoes for walking.
Must see
Sears Tower is about a 15 minute walk away and is worth the wait once you arrive to see the city from the top.
Dining
Pie-eyed has great late night pizza delivery until 5am and delivers to the hotel with great service. House of blues is about 3 blocks away and serves great food in a great atmosphere. Several coffee shops within a few blocks for fair priced coffee.
Nightlife
Mother Hubbards on Hubbard st is a laid back and friendly bar few blocks away and is a grandfathered bar open until 4am or later.
Outdoors or beach
Navy Pier is a must see. Have a drink or a meal outside on the pier!

“Fabulous Hotel in Perfect Location”

Great service in the hotel restaurant, as well as staff for valet parking and hotel registration desk; beautiful view of Chicago from our 15th floor room; waiter & restaurant manager were very helpful accommodating our obscure food allergy; just a block from the Chicago Cultural Center, Millenium Park, Macy's, & lots of other terrific city attractions. It'll be hard to do better than this hotel if you'd like to be in this neighborhood.
