My wife and I stayed at the hotel teh weekend of Jan 14-15. Booked though hotels tonight for $105 total including taxes. First impression was only "Wow!"

We stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel in Chicago and had a great experience. From the valet parking to checking in was super easy. We got therebefore the 3:00pm check in time, but since our room was ready, they let us check in early. Our room and view was great!!! The rooms are pretty modern and each floor has a... More

I stayed at this hotel for a conference. The accommodations were nice - comfortable and clean. In my room, the only issue I encountered was with the mini bar - I did not realize that every time you remove an item (even if it's just to read the label), they place it on your bill. It's an easy fix (they... More

Thank you very much for your review! We are so happy to see that you enjoyed our comfortable, clean hotel. Since our mini-bars are motion sensitive, we warn guests not to remove items so they are not charged, but we are glad that you brought this to our attention so we could quickly resolve it. We wish you had enjoyed... More

I stayed there for three nights for business, in January 2012. Overall, I like the hotel and definitely considering coming back next time I come to the windy city. The bed was comfortable, although I wanted warmer blankets. Water pressure of the shower was good. Bathroom was clean. Pros: Great location (close to the intersection of Wacker and Michigan). Cool,... More

I made reservations for 5 families, (4 of which had young children, a total of 19 people) to spend one night at the hotel during school vacation. The staff couldn't have been more helpful.

Stayed here the night we got engaged. Despite the fact that we used a groupon, they upgraded us to a corner room, gave us free drinks at the bar, and could not have been more fantastic to deal with. Clearly the service was great. The room itself exceeded all expectations. Bright and comfy room, with views to the North up... More

I'd admired this beautiful Art-Deco building and it's place in the Chicago skyline before I moved away back in 1989. I was really pleased and surprised to walk up to its entrance on Michigan Avenue and to learn that the gorgeous gold lobby had been preserved! I had booked a room as part of an incredible promotion ($99!) expecting to... More
