I planned a surprise trip to Chicago to celebrate our anniversary and my husband's birthday. I spent HOURS researching hotels (so many to choose from!) and am so glad we ended up at the Omni. The location is ideal, we were given a corner suite on the 25th (top) floor, and the staff took excellent care of us. There was a discrepancy in what the hotel showed as our rate and what came through on an e-mail from centralized reservations, and Mohammed and Jewel at the front desk graciously honored the lesser amount. The Omni's Select Guest Program is true marketing genius. It was so nice to return to our room each morning from the fitness center and have coffee, juice and our favorite newspaper waiting for us. We stopped by the Concierge Desk several times, and found everyone very helpful. The Omni does a great job of offering all the perks of a large, glitzy hotel but with the personalized service of a smaller, boutique type property. Jared printed our boarding passes when we were computer challenged, and Jennifer generously had a bottle of champagne and chocolate covered strawberries waiting for us when we arrived. We now consider ourselves Omni "groupies" and changed our hotel to the Omni Parker House when we visit our daughter next month for Thanksgiving. We are also going to stay at the Omni San Francisco when we stay overnight in the city in a few weeks.
