“Husband Birthday at the TRUMP!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

Highly reccomend this hotel. I booked for my husbands birthday and booked the city view. When we arrived we were upgraded to River view which was awesome. Floor 27 with the best View. Room was perfect. Gave us a comp choclate truffles with a Happy Birthday card make out of choclate nice extra touch. Coffe was amazing and great choice on Hot Teas. We choice Shaws to eat at Sixteen a bit too pricy. Shaws was a short walk and Excellent dinner! Have drinks in the rebar. Enjoyed our room just wish Tub was bigger but loved it all. Truly was an amazing hotel will be back. Thank you for your Great Service Trump. Oh I even got a phone call a few days before asking if I needed anything. Did pillow request and call early but loved the pillows.

“Four nights at a great luxury hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

This is a fine hotel with impeccable service. We were offered cold bottles of water upon our arrival. Our boys ( boys 6 1/2 and 1 1/2 ) received complimentary Trump pig stuff animals. The concierge was helpful in getting us babysitting services for date night. Our family of four enjoyed the very large swimming pool. From the swimming pool room you can watch activities on the Chicago river. The rooms by the SPA is very large and luxurious. The bathroom mirrors have built in LCD tvs!!! This location is great because it is very close to good restaurants like the Slurping Turtle, Xoco and Michel star winner Naha. In addition it's close to the Google office and a 15 minute walk to the very popular Doughnut Vault. The CTA ( El Trains ) line are close by as well. We did have an issue with our room where the bathroom vent was pumping in a cigarette smell; but within a day, they promptly moved us to a smaller room but with a larger kitchen. All in all it was a great experience, I cannot wait to visit again!

Room Tip: pick the room close to the SPA

“Trump earns 6 stars!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 22, 2013

Trump hotel occupancy was full during our stay. Yet the entire Trump staff behaved as if my wife and I were the only guests on the property. That perception is a reality. Their attention to detail and overall outstanding service is second to none! We have stayed in many five star resorts & hotels (including our most recent stay at The St. Regis - Monarch Beach Resort in Dana Point, CA), but Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago "TRUMPED" them all. We will add Trump properties to our consideration list for future travels. Thank you for a delightful experience!

“Lives up to it's name”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 21, 2013

As I was scrolling through Trip Advisors Travelers Choice 2013 Top 25 Hotels in the United States I was happy to see that the Trump International Hotel & Tower in Chicago made the list. This hotel truly deserves that accolade as it is nearly perfect. The property is sleek, modern and located within walking distance to fabulous restaurants and one of a kind shopping on Michigan Avenue. My BF and I stayed in December in a gorgeous one bedroom King Deluxe Suite with spectacular views of the Chicago River and the city skyline. Mr. Trump does it right with floor to ceiling windows in both the living area and bedroom so that there is nothing to obstruct the awesome view. The sophisticated décor, electric fireplace and heavenly bed made this a room we were happy to come back to after a day of sightseeing. I particularly loved that there were 2 bathrooms (one for me and one for you), the dressing area with full length mirror and vanity with magnifying makeup mirror.

Typically, when we are on vacation we don’t spend too much time in the room as we love to explore and get the most out of each city we visit. It says a lot that one of the three evenings we were in Chicago were spent in our room curled up on the sofa with the fireplace going, a movie on the TV, city lights glowing through the windows and room service. We were just so content that we didn’t feel the need to go anywhere! This brings me to the only one fault we found at this hotel – in room dining. The selection is plentiful, the service friendly and fast however the food was below average. For almost $150 I had a very bland bowl of chicken noodle soup and my BF had a poorly cooked steak drowned in some sort of onion sauce concoction. I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt and assuming that is not the norm but my advice is definitely to venture out to one of the many fabulous restaurants in the area. Breakfast at Sixteen while still relatively expensive was absolutely scrumptious consisting of perfectly cooked eggs, bacon, sausage and delicious waffles.

Perhaps my favorite part of the hotel was the spa. I highly recommend taking some time to enjoy it. I had the deep tissue massage and Trump results facial using Kate Somerville products. I left feeling pampered and light as a feather. Both services were above average and the spa is quiet and soothing. Again, I absolutely love the floor to ceiling windows which line the hallway from the lounges to the treatment rooms, looking out onto that gorgeous city really enhances the mood of the hotel. The selection of products in the boutique is top notch as well.

Check in and check out were seamless. The staff is friendly and attentive yet noninvasive, a perfect combination! We have stayed at many top hotels across the country and call the Trump Hotel in Chicago the top city hotel we have visited.

“Reasonable hotel but probably over hyped”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 19, 2013

This hotel has a dramatic entrance and public space but after that it is just an ordinary big hotel. Granted the rooms are large and the bathrooms well appointed. The views of Chicago are good but this is a beautiful city when seen from many angles - not least from above.
