From the start our stay at The James was amazing. We received a great deal off of Travelzoo for $129/night, PLUS $50 in food and beverage coupons. Upon arrival we were checked-in well before the correct time and received a high room, which was great. We had a great experience with the servers at Prime Steakhouse and they had fantastic... more

I could not stay at my regular hotel and so ended up at the James and was very pleasantly surpised. The room was very modern, tastefully decorated, had two flat screen TVs and a comfortable bed. The staff were extremely couteous and helpful but not overbearing. The location is great - in the heart of the shopping and restaurant district... more

We stayed in a king room at this hotel, the bed was very comfortable. The rest of the hotel room is quite small, which is to be expected in a boutique hotel. Everything was impeccably clean, and we had excellent front desk and in-room service. Also, the Kiehl's bathroom amenities were a nice touch and were of excellent quality. Our... more

Upon arrival you know you are somewhere special. Every employee is courteous and knowledgable. Rooms are amazing. Bed is so comfy and everything is immaculate.Great shower! Right within walking distance to everything you can imagine including a Trader Joe's across the street. Definitely will stay here again the next time I am in town. more

I stayed at The James Hotel for 4 nights after getting a good rate online. The stay was great from the efficient and friendly check in to the equally friendly and efficient check out. The hotel has a groovy retro decor quite a refreshing change from the usual over decorated Chicago standard. Good quality bedlinen and toiletries in the bathroom... more

The thing that makes this such an enjoyable place to stay is the staff who were all excellent and polite and the service was impeccable. The room was very clean, the beds were comfortable but it was a little small and the water in the bathroom was not very hot. Other than that it was a great place to stay. more

This is a fantastic hotel with superior service and amenities. The room was well-appointed in a contemporary style. Hotel furnishings are modern and comfortable. Staff was helpful and fluent in multiple languages. The hotel restaurant is supposed to be very good, but we didn't eat there. It was busy every night however and appeared to be a hot spot.
