I booked this hotel through my company's travel website. The rate was about $225 a night. When I got to the front desk they told me that they only had a room with double beds left. I said that I would prefer a room wiht a one king size or at least a queen size bed. They said they were... more

Greeted by a classy and friendly doorman who was also attending the dog bowls out front, as pets are welcome though unseen. Every portion of our stay was carefully planned and pampering... from Reggie's informative guidance to our room, to the coffee and tea service in the warm and cozy lobby. The room decor created a feeling of royalty and... more

In large cities choices abound, and sometimes the best are the smaller boutique hotels that combine the cities history and accomodations enjoyed by a much larger upscale hotel. Hotel Burnham does both beautifully. Never thought you'd want to stay 24 hours at the office - but even though this hotel has retained this historical office feel and unique look -... more

It was perfect for our needs - and the service was unparalleled. The location was perfect for the theater weekend we had planned. Our room was lovely, if small, with very comfortable beds and a view of Macy's with its lighted Christmas windows. The desk personnel, housekeepers, and bellman were all very attentive - as well as the servers at... more

We visited Chicago the last weekend in October. Yes, Halloween weekend. Not that that affected our review at all. The hotel is right in the heart of Chicago. Perfect location. It's on the corner of State Street and Washington. A couple blocks one way is Millennium Park. A couple blocks the other way is the Chicago River. A short walk... more

Hotel Burnham brings life to a historic building. Room was unique and kept clean. Common areas were very inviting. Food in downstairs restaurant (Atwood Cafe) was excellent, but it was closed on New Year's Day and so we had to find another place to eat. Other than that, hotel stay was excellent and location was super convenient for seeing all... more

Just got back from a long weekend staying at the Hotel Burnham. I was a particpant in the Chicago Marathon. Got a great rate on this hotel on Priceline (due to the weekend I did book about 8 months in advance). The staff was wonderful to my family and myself the entire weekend including providing my son with some free... more

On our first trip to Chicago my wife and I took Amtrak from Portland, Or. That was an adventure in its self. I did a lot of research on line about where to stay and decided on the Burnham because of various recommendations NOT from previous travelers but from other sources. My wife has MS and cannot walk long distances... more

We checked in early with little expectations but were greated with huge smiles and accommodated immeditaley. The staff at the door and the desk could not have been nicer. The room although small was perfect and given it is an historic building -understood. Loved the Atwood cafe - wish more hotels had cool places like this to eat- Will definatley... more
