Located just north of The Loop, Gold Coast is one of Chicago’s most affluent and popular neighborhoods. The original Playboy, Hugh Hefner, once had a mansion here. In addition to prestigious hotels, historic mansions and luxury high-rise apartments, you’ll also find upscale specialty boutiques and Michelin-starred restaurants. Walk along Oak Street for your shopping fix and dance through the night along Rush Street. The Newberry Library is also a great stop to check out noteworthy exhibits and rare book collections.

Stayed here for 2 nights in Nov 2018. The hotel is in a really nice area, a short walk away from some shops and nice restaurants. The subway station is around 5-10min away and the walk to the centre of the city only takes around...More
It’s a Chicago downtown hotel so if you have a car, local parking is abysmal and valet is $67 a day! Staff are super! Friendly and accommodating. No coffee in the room but the bar in the room is full.. minimal ventilation in the bathroom....More
