I chose this hotel based on its location, which was perfect for my business appointments in the area. View of Lincoln Park conservatory right across the street was lovely, and zoo and nature museum are a stone's throw away.

My daughter and I stayed here while she auditioned at DePaul, and it was a key element of a wonderful weekend in Lincoln Park, from the ambience of this historic hotel to all the great dining and retail options nearby to the lake views out the window. We were upgraded to the Presidential Suite, which was vast and lovely in... More

Besides the college, there were a number of restaurants and interesting sites to visit within walking distance. Our room was comfortable with plenty of space. Parking was a bit tricky, but we managed to get a spot... More

It was our first stay here, on Thanksgiving weekend. We received a room upgrade and loved our spacious 9th floor unit with a view of the lake. It was the quietest hotel room we have ever had. The holiday decorations were lovely. The location was perfect, easy access to lake shore running paths, close to the zoo and conservatory, and... More

We stayed at the Belden Stratford over my daughter's spring break. It is a fabulous location, near the lake, directly across the street from the Lincoln Park Zoo, and in the heart of Lincoln Park. We put our car in the valet parking and got around on foot, by bus and used a few taxis. It was a great bargain... More
