We stayed at the Hotel Burnham for a weekend during a recent visit to Chicago. It was our first stay there, and our first stay at a Kimpton Hotel. The staff was exceptional – friendly, helpful, and prompt. Upon arrival, we were upgraded to a suite with a beautiful view of State St. The ambience and architecture of the hotel... More

The Hotel Burnham is a charming hotel located on State and Washington Streets. The location is great for the Art Museum, Theatre District, and shopping. I was excited to experience a Kimpton, boutique hotel, but was disappointed in the overall service, and the bathroom in my suite. I stayed in a suite with a king-sized bed which was lovely, but...

I visited Chicago in October with my sister and we stayed four nights at this architecturally important and cozy boutique hotel. Service was warm and friendly and the location is perfect. The rooms, as other reviewers note, are a bit small, but they're well appointed and charming. The bottom-line judgment of a hotel or restaurant is, Would one stay there... More

The Burnham is our first choice for overnights in Chicago. We live in the far suburbs and occasionally enjoy an overnight stay downtown. We love the Burnham's ideal location for theatre, shopping, and Millennium Park. Best of all are the friendly and accommodating staff. The rooms are not spacious, but well-appointed and meticulously decorated. The public spaces are cozy/trendy. I... More

A very nice bed, a great corner room with views of the city. Don't believe the "park view" stuff on their website, you get a sliver of the park, but... More

I had the pleasure to stay in a Executive suite with an amazing view of the Chicago Theatre and Macys and from the other side Millennium Park. The room was large for a boutique hotel... More

I was in Chicago for one night during Christmas week to attend the Joffrey Ballet. My stay at the Burnham could not have been better. The front desk personnel greeted me warmly and gave me a $10 "raid the minibar" card when I checked in. My room was warm and comfortable and had the two amenities that I appreciate the... More

Off the beaten path, as it's located in the Loop just catty corner from Macys on State Street. The Macys is the old Marshall Fields main store that has the windows at Christmas with the big tree inside. The Burnham rooms are decorated so lovely, very clean. The lobby and restaurant The Applewood are wonderful too. The building was one... More

Employees were very helpful, great location, clean room, and comfortable beds. Nightly wine (& beer) hour was nice. More
