“Fantastic location and service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 25, 2012

Our first trip to Chicago saw us staying at the Conrad, a great hotel to stay in, right next to the magnificent mile and connected to a shopping mall with Nordstrom in it. Very near A few good eateries like Shaw's Crab house (seafood to die for) and some excellent Mexican places just 5 mins down the road. The hotel is very comfortable, with large rooms and bathroom. We had a great breakfast one day, which put the nearby Yolk chain to shame, though Yolk is cheaper ( you get what you pay for clearly). Service is top notch, and my four year old was pleased to bits to be given his very own rubber ducky upon check-in. Wifi is free and daily provision of mineral water with complimentary hot chocolate and coffee and tea in the lobby is a nice touch. Our room was quiet and we didn't have any problems with it during the three nights we stayed. I would most definitely recommend this hotel to anyone with a family or on a business trip!

“Perfect location for hanging out in the city.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 24, 2012

The Conrad hotel is our favorite location to stay in Chicago. Definitely and upscale hotel but you can get some great deals and packages on some of the travel sites. Every need is attended to during your stay. You are treated like VIPs from the time you get out of the car until you depart. The location is awesome, within walking distance of several great restaurants and bars in the area. Not too overly crowded like some of the locations further north. Restaurant right on site. Had breakfast there, very good food. Complimentary coffee in the mornings until 10AM. A small lounge on the 5th floor serves great drinks and the wine selection is wonderful. Shopping is right across a walkway over rush street. You never have to step outside. Michigan Avenue is on the other side of the building. We will keep coming back to the Conrad when ever we have plans to stay in the city.

“Great Business Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 21, 2012

Let start by thanking Craig for making my 50th Birthday so fun. My girlfriend and went early to tour and celebrate my birthday and the staff made it very fun and enjoyable. Did I get an amenity from the hotel - no. Maybe next time they might take a look at the little details and go beyond expecations. The hotel is very clean and well maintained, rooms are large and comfortable.

Business: the WIFI worked well and the staff is very professional. Tank you room service for being on time , every time. Housekeeping did an awesome job, thanks for folding my jammies and putting them away every day.

I will stay here again.

Room Tip: Get a room on a high floor

“Impeccable as always”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 21, 2012

Impeccable as always - a high profile high standard Conrad Hotel. Got a magnificent mile room, which unfortunately could be a little noisy. Bathroom is pretty spacey, bedroom is nice. The TV with Bose setups and Apple connection was impressive. One downside is that, business center charges for using computers and printers.
Most importantly, Conrad is not Conrad by simply putting the top of class things together in the room, the service is fantastic!

“Great location and comfortable stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 19, 2012

The location is so convenient, close to shops and restaurants. The room is huge and the bed is comfy. I like their bathroom supplies and complimentary coffee every morning. It is a pleasant stay. The staff was nice and helpful. Will stay again. We got a great deal on Hotwire for 100 per night for 4 nights during thanksgiving weekend.
