The whole staff at the Hotel Monaco are wonderful! Antonio Santizo was the first who greeted us as well as escorted us to our room. Adriana was able to accommodate us especially since it was our anniversary. Trinity at the front desk was welcoming. Drew and Mark were so hospitable and professional! Everyone was so knowledgeable about the Chicago area. We also enjoyed the complimentary wine and hors devours. Loved the ambience in the lobby and defined loved our room! Thank you all!

Hotel's Favorite
There are many options when staying in Chicago but I would definitely stay at the Kimpton Hotel Monaco again. First, the location is great if you're looking to stay in the heart of the city. It's located off the river and it's near plenty of restaurants and shopping. It does tend to get pretty busy outside with tourist but that wasn't an issue for the 4 days I was there. The staff was extremely friendly from the doormen to the front desk. Special thank you to Caroline for being so friendly and helpful. The lobby is a decent size and furnished nicely. I had a King River View room. The room was nice overall and clean. The bed was comfortable and I liked the shower. Unfortunately the view was lackluster, I could barely see the river from my window. To be fair when I checked in the front desk did tell me I could possibly switch rooms if I was unhappy after my first night but I didn't even mention I was disappointed with the view. Also, floors did have a lot of dips in weird spots and the carpet could have used a good cleaning but it wasn't horrible by any means. Due to Covid the hotel is only doing housekeeping by request which I didn't mind at all. The valet is around $65 a day but does include in and out privileges. I think it's good if you're going to be going in and out all day. I only rented a car for 2 days and used a parking garage around the corner which was about $15 for 12 hours but it didn't have in and out privileges. …

Our stay was perfect. The hotel honored our request for a higher floor so we could have a beautiful view of the river that was dyed green for St. Patrick’s Day. We were given a bottle of champagne and a lovely note to welcome us. I have stayed here approximately 12 years ago and always wanted to return. The front desk was cheerful and exhibited exceptional customer service along with the bellman’s. The window benches in the room are an added perk. The views drinking my coffee in the am and the city lights in the evening are enchanting. The restaurant downstairs pleasantly surprised us. Very good food and service. I love this hotel and highly recommend it. Close to many wonderful sites. Chicago is an amazing city and this hotel makes it that much better. Thank you to the staff for a wonderful stay!…

This is hands down, the nicest Kimpton property I've ever stayed at. Great rooms, beautiful facility, great parking situation, friendly staff, good restaurant on site and amazing happy hour (wine) and bar. Also, very relaxing seating area throughout the lobby. Highly recommend staying here and will absolutely stay here again. I would also like to praise the front desk, housekeeping, and doorman (Antonio S) for making my boyfriend and I stay so welcoming. We will definitely be back.

Two words—Antonio Santizo. He’s the reason we stay at Hotel Monaco on each visit to Chicago. He takes such pride in helping guests feel comfortable and welcome. His kindness and interest in people is genuine. He is the face of this hotel and they are very lucky to have him!

The Kimpton Hotel Monaco is immaculate and staff is super friendly. Our room was extremely spacious, clean and the shower and bathroom were amazing. The restaurant in the hotel serves a great breakfast. We plan to make the KHM - Chicago our place to stay when in town.
