Had a great stay here, very accommodating and helpful. I had a leg injury and the team here went above and beyond to help me with anything needed. Very friendly, always smiling, and great vibes. Kay and Bre were particularly helpful from guest services for any specific requests I had during my stay. Hotel has a nice lobby, with some open workspace, cozy feel. Rooms are comfy and well appointed. Great location. Overall would highly recommend.

This hotel is truly a gem. Elegant, chic, and luxurious. This landmark hotel is in an exceptional location. (If YKYK) The staff are absolutely wonderful. Not just because of their high quality of service and discretion, but because they truly look after their guests. I travel a lot, and this type of service is disappearing. They posses a knowledge of the city that is first rate, and work hard to make your stay as seamless as possible. I must single out one it’s terrific staff members in particular, Bre, who was delightful. She truly knows the city and had wonderful suggestions. More importantly, They made sure. I was properly looked after. She and her colleagues took wonderful care of me, and are the main reason I will stay here when I am in Chicago. Highly recommend it.

Love this Hotel! My second time to stay there. My husband and I were visiting from CA, and I wanted us to stay there. The location is amazing, high end neighborhood, close to the Gold Coast. It was the first week they were opened after closing due to COVID. I called to see if the bar and restaurant were open? I spoke with Bre, who followed up with an email of her favorite restaurants. When we checked in, she was the one who checked us in for our 3 night stay. She and the staff are so friendly and very professional. The Ambassdor is definitely our Hotel of choice, when traveling to Chicago again. The down stairs of the lobby has all the black and white photos of celebrities that have stayed or attend a party there. NOSTALGIA! Trust me you will no be disappointed. Tell Bre, Daniel of the FAB DUO sent you!…

I choose this hotel again because of the great service I received last year. I'm glad I did because my wife became ill after a night out and Ms Kay was on duty. She was very sympathetic and suggested a couple of drug stores in the area. I was very impressed with her knowledge of the area and the events going on in the city.

Lovely hotel. Just perfect and convenient when visiting with family but not wanting or being able to stay with them. Only suggestion... we checked in later in the evening and did not get any explanation of what services were available or how the elevator worked.
