The Hotel Lincoln is for people with a spirit of fun. The décor is pure kitsch-funk, the terrific check-in staff young and hip. It also happens to have one of Chicago's top restaurants, the Perennial Virant, and a rooftop bar that must be totally swinging, judging from the folks boarding the exclusive elevator to it. We looked at it off-hours... More

Cozy and nice hotel located on the north part of Chicago near Lincoln park. I really liked it. It's very friendly and lovely. The service great. They have a great roof lounge. And the restaurant on the first floor is great for breakfast. The rooms view is amazing: the park and the immense lake right on your window.

Hotel Linclon has an ecletic flair which is chic and hip. The staff from the front door, to the the desk, room service, the restaurant, and coffee bar were incredibly helpful, suggestive, informed, and overall personal. The bar, independently owned atop also provided hip, mised environment. The location is ideal, across from a park, close to the waterfront, and walking... More

Hotel Lincoln is as inviting as it is funky. Loved it all; the carpet that looked like cozy sweaters, antique drawer fronts reception desk, windy hallways, crazy, colorful and wonderful furniture and accents, 1 1/2 baths, great view and great staff. Everyone was happy, including the nightshift cleaning person we rode in the elevator with. Great bed and wonderful pillows... More

The location of the hotel was wonderful such a great exploring area. Bus stops right in front of the hotel and cabs are easy to access there as well. Great park to take a run or a walk, or head on down to the lake's shoreline. Weekend Farmers Market was exciting and filled our stomachs nicely for breakfast. Our room... More

This was my second visit to my new favorite hotel and it was every bit as great as the first. My BFF Glenn is still there and I made a new pal in Alyssa. One of the best things about the hotel is their friendly and hard working staff. The rooftop bar, J. Parker, the coffee shop, Elaine's Coffee Call... More

The staff at Hotel Lincoln was outstanding. Valet staff and Front Desk staff were personable and attentive. We had breakfast at Perennial Virant and the food was fabulous.

The hotel is in a perfect location for sightseeing in Lincoln Park or taking in a show at The Second City, and the boutique feel makes it stand out versus run-of-the-mill big-city hotels. Not only that, but for only ~$150 a night (I stayed on a Tuesday), it vastly beats out the hotels right downtown - and even with a... More
