Top Design Museum of Chicago Hotel Reviews

The Allegro Royal Sonesta Hotel Chicago Loop

8/10 Good

"Great location, friendly staff both on reception, bar and restaurant. A good gym, albeit small."

Hyatt Regency Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"Great!"

Fairmont Chicago at Millennium Park

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed on the concierge floor. It was worth the upgrade. The food was exceptional and the staff, especially Madonna, went out of their way to make you feel welcomed."

L7 Chicago by LOTTE

10/10 Excellent

"I have stayed at this hotel many times and u have to commend the staff on their level of service. They are always ready to assist you. The rooms are spacious and modern and even though it's in the middle of downtown its really quiet in the rooms."

theWit Chicago, a Hilton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay, clean room and friendly staff. The bed and pillow were very comfortable. The hotel had a lovely rooftop bar and is a short walk to Chicago Theatre. Onsite restaurant was delicious."

Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago

8/10 Good

"隔音效果差"

InterContinental Chicago Magnificent Mile by IHG

8/10 Good

"Fantastic location, friendly and helpful staff, and very comfortable bedding (my friend who shared the room wtih me ordered the pillows for use at home!). Rooms are about the size one would expect for this neighborhood - smaller than in the suburbs! The bathroom amenities are high quality. I only subtracted a star because the elevators were very, very slow resulting in us and several other groups of guests using the stairs which were pretty poorly labeled for ease of use and for safety (if there had been an emergency. I gave this feedback to staff who were outwardly receptive - and who hopefully re-sign the stairwells so that other guests like us (and the other 8 people we found in them!) will know exactly where to go whether rushed or at a calm pace."

Palmer House a Hilton Hotel

8/10 Good

"We absolutely loved our stay at the Palmer House\! The hotel is beautiful and has so much history and character\. From the moment you walk into the lobby, you can tell this isn’t just another hotel—it really feels like part of the Chicago experience\. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and the location was perfect for exploring the city\. It’s also very close to the L train, which made getting around Chicago so convenient\. The hotel was clean, and we really enjoyed learning about its history and all the famous people who have stayed there over the years\. The rooms could definitely use some updating\. My other complaint would be the beds and pillows\. I personally like a soft bed and soft pillows, and the bed felt pretty hard with a bouncy, springy feel\. The pillows were also too firm for my preference\. Of course, comfort is different for everyone, so someone who prefers a firmer bed may feel differently\. I stayed here with my daughter for her very first concert, so this trip was already special, and staying at the Palmer House made it even more memorable\. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely stay here again\. The history, beautiful hotel, friendly staff, and convenient location made it worth the stay\!"

Club Quarters Hotel, Central Loop, Chicago

10/10 Excellent
