Chicago Hotel Guide - 4 stars Hotels in Chicago, United States of America

So close park, lake and zoo. It's old otel but cozy. Staff are good. Dont rent car park is very expensive. Use uber.

Really nice to be at a quiet spot that is two blocks from the noise and excitement. You can jump in and then retreat to serenity when you like.

The staff at the front desk accommodate us with a double bed as we checked in.

The staff was friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious and clean. We were within walking distance to everything. I would definitely recommend the hotel and would stay there again. The rooftop bar was also great.

Rooms cold and noise level high. Great friendly staff and good bar in location

My wife and I stayed here for our 21rst wedding anniversary. It was central to a lot of attractions. The Chicago Tour and Trolley bus stop was right outside. Navy pier is 3 blocks from here. Michigan Ave. is 2 block away!! It is Great place to stay.

At first glance the Virgin Hotel is very unassuming from the outside. As soon as you step through the revolving door, you're greeted by the friendly staff, and you notice the quirky pops of flair throughout the property that are synonymous with the Virgin brand. I have stayed in a lot of upscale properties, both stateside, and abroad, and in my honest opinion, I have never had a more pleasant experience than the one I had staying at the Virgin Hotel. The Chamber Suites are very comfortable and well appointed. The layout was very well thought out, and had a nice flow as you transitioned from the living area, to the bathroom, and into the bedroom. It hardly felt like I was staying in a hotel. I felt like I was living in a loft in "Downtown Anywhere", that's how at home you feel. Also, you cannot go wrong with the mini bar. I almost never help myself to mini bar fare, however, you just cannot help yourself at the Virgin Hotel. All of the snacks and drinks are very reasonably priced. Honestly, I was helping myself to everything in that minibar, daily. Talk about location, location, location! You are in close proximity, and within walking distance to a lot of major Chicago landmarks. You're literally minutes away from Cloud Gate (the Bean), at Millennium Park, The Chicago Theatre, and about a 20 minute walk to the Buckingham Fountain and Willis (Sears) Tower. Also, there are so many great restaurants and bars in the immediate area, not to mention the great offerings on site.

Out of all the cities I've been to, my Chicago stay might be my favorite so far. The James is the best hotel I've been to so far but even more impressive was the staff. I'm probably getting her name wrong but Milania at the front desk made me and my girlfriend feel at home, always had a smile and always seemed excited to tell us about the best spots to check out around town. I definitely plan to come back for a longer stay next year.

We loved our 7 night stay at the Fairmont in August. Our room was large and comfortable with a terrific city view. The staff are amazing, especially the concierge desk! They helped us with lunch reservations, dinner reservations, tickets to the Art Institute (that allowed us to skip the line-up) and tickets to The Second City. Our trip wouldn't have been nearly as fun without the concierge staff! All of their restaurant recommendations were spot-on, we had a BLAST in Chicago. We'll be back, and we'll definitely be staying at the Fairmont.

Great Hotel! Close to shops restaurants and lake. The staff was kind and helpful. Gave us a ride to the Cubs game in the hotel car.
