4 star hotels in Chicago

Excellent experience and superb service from the Hyatt team.

The hotel is very close to the Riverwalk, Magnificent Mile, and The Bean. The area felt safe, and both Wildberry and deep-dish pizza places were within walking distance.

Great location and friendly staff. The only minor drawback is that the soundproofing could be a bit better.

The hotel's location is excellent! It's quiet and elegant, with complete and comfortable facilities. It's super convenient for sightseeing and tourism. The front desk service is also fantastic!

Perfect! Great views, convenient location, and lots of dining options nearby.

First and foremost, you will not find a friendlier front desk staff in Chicago. These individuals make you feel welcome and appreciated. Tresa was nicest front desk person at a hotel that I have ever met. She went above and beyond! So grateful for everything she did to make me feel like a close friend. Rooms are nice, I was in the east tower. You won’t be blown away by the space or the bed, but you...

We attended the 2026 Chicago Auto Show, at the convention center, which is attached to the Hotel. Our room was clean and recently remodeled. All the staff was friendly and respectful. The Valet parking service was helpful and easy. We even were allowed a late check out, for no charge.

We have stayed here for the Chicago Auto Show the past 3 years. The venue is connected to the hotel and is a short walk from your room. The rooms are always comfy and clean. The staff is pretty helpful. A couple restaurants to choose from and a bar. The Arc has some of the best and friendliest servers. We will continue to stay here for the Auto Show.

College friends and I flew into Chicago to watch the Minnesota Gophers play Northwestern in football at Wrigley Field in November 2025. We ended up staying at the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place. This was based on a recommendation from my sister-in-law who had a colleague running the show at the hotel. The experience was awesome. The staff were friendly and courteous. The rooms were really nice...

Very practical hotel that does exactly what it is meant to do. Rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable, with great views of the lake or skyline depending on where you stay. Everything feels efficient and well organized. The direct connection to McCormick Place is a huge advantage if you are attending a conference or event. Service is professional and smooth, though more businesslike than warm....

I was very satisfied, except for the lack of amenities! There were no toothbrushes or toothpaste ㅠㅠ

I always choose this hotel for my conferences. It's conveniently located next to McCormick Place. It's also close to Chinatown and the Bean. However, this time, I was in the north building, so the view wasn't as good as in the south. Overall, I was satisfied.

Our stay was absolutely awesome! The staff were so helpful and friendly. Our room was clean and comfortable. My husband and I enjoyed our stay and we will return.

Not happy with the person at check in, not nice at all & gave us a very loud noisy floor.

It's my first time staying in Sheraton Riverwalk Chicago and the experience was awesome! View was good, everything was convenient and it's highly recommended for everyone to stay there 🥰🥰

There's no fridge in the room which is quite annoying. You can't bring back leftovers from a fun night out. My AC started squeaking heavy in the night too so I had to adjust the panel. Other than that my stay has been good and the view of the river and lake is quite nice.

Very nice hotel. Great location. The staff is top notch! Feels safe, well updated and clean. Great place to stay while in Chicago, close to everything. Easy walking distance to all attractions. Nearby dining is delicious! The rooms are large, plenty of towels, mini fridge. Our room had a view. Room service daily was excellent.

One of the best hotels on the Riverwalk district. It is right along the river and very convenient. When I checked in, I got upgraded to a high floor because of my titanium status. When I checked in, the staff were helpful and friendly and there was no wait. The room was large, the beds were comfortable and the view of the River from the hotel room window was great. Overall this is a very good hotel...

The hygiene was so-so; it seemed like the cleaning staff didn't pay much attention.

Wifi had some issue, without that everything was fine

Great stay, great breakfast and location.

Great location! Near Michigan Avenue (great place to shop) and pristine nearby restaurants.

Everything was perfect. Great view, checked me in early, comfy bed, great location, etc. Steve who works out front is especially lovely and helpful.

Great location in the city centre. Clean and spacious room with an amazing view (34th floor). Free Wi-Fi in the lobby and in the room only if part of the loyalty program.

Loved the experience! Everyone was extremely nice at the hotel, location is great too! Rooms are super clean and comfortable, great restaurants and MASSIVE fully stacked Gym on 4th floor. Definitely worth the money! Decent views from my room on 25th floor, elevator was super fast and food just to die for! Best salmon salad I’ve ever had.

I just stayed at this hotel for a conference. It was a nice hotel and the rooms were pleasant. I did want to give a shout-out to the ladies at the M Club. I visited during the day and at night for the appetizers. The ladies always welcomed me in and asked if they could help me with anything. I only got one lady’s name, Anna. But the ladies at dinner were wonderful too! Thanks for your great service

Great stays with friendly staff and nice lounge area. The location is super convenient if you are here for the convention. It’s a 5 mins walk to the convention center. The hotel has a great gym. Also they categorized elevator to lower floor and higher floor, so it’s quick to get on the elevator. The suite room has great view of the Chicago skylines . The living room area was big. The curtain inside...

Beautiful architecture. All of the front desk was very kind and welcoming. The hotel was right in the middle of everything we wanted to do (Georgia Aquarium, Coca Cola museum, and a couple of LGBT bars. We booked through my credit card travel portal and did notice people who booked directly were getting free room upgrades or free breakfast. The price for the night seemed fair for it being in downtown...

The hotel is nice and clean and in a great location. However the staff is quite unpleasant. From the front desk, to the bar staff, to the coffee shop staff. All seemed like it was an inconvenience to ask questions. I had a delivery come to the hotel for me and it was stolen and yet the hotel took no responsibility for it. Luckily the flower shop made it right. The one and only difference in service...

No free water, no slippers, service is OK, you can upgrade to a lake view room for $30

Very good and clean rooms. Amazing place to stAy and more than worth it.

Nice hotel at historic city center area, great service, will definitely stay here again for future trip

Perfect place to stay for a weekend in the city and great value for money. We had a queen room with two bathrooms which was very convenient. We booked a lake view, and it was stunning! The pool was crowded, so unfortunately we didn’t get a chance to use it.

The front desk staff were warm and friendly. They were very patient with me, even though my English isn't great, and used translation software to help. My room had a city view; while it wasn't a lake view, I could see the tall buildings outside. The room was spacious, and although the decor was a bit dated, it was exceptionally clean. You have to pick up bottled water yourself from the front desk....

Everything was fine, but when I returned to the hotel the second night, after taking a bath and using the bath towel, I found a pair of used old socks. They were neither mine nor my friend's. This made me feel extremely disgusted and uncomfortable. I am very concerned about the hygiene situation at Hilton. This is a problem that should not have occurred

Excellent environment, centrally located with convenient access to all attractions. The staff were exceptionally gentle and polite. If I visit again in the future, I will definitely choose this place again.

I stayed in room 1024 last weekend. I was in town for the Lake F3 Half Marathon. This was my first time staying here. I have stayed at the Hilton Suites around the corner many times. I thought that I would stay at the Westin this time. First, the hotel is in a nice part of town close to bus routes and the Red Line. The rooms are in need of a renovation. I’ve stayed at other Marriott properties the...

The rooms do not represent the Westin brand well. As someone who often stays at Marriott properties and looks forward to the Westin product this hotel falls short. It is my least Westin to stay at and that is because of the rooms. The hotel is dated and in need of renovation. I have stayed her many times and each room smells like it’s been dowsed in fragrant cleaners to get rid of smell. The carpets...

I visit this hotel several times a month for business, and it never ceases to impress me. I’d like to give a special shout-out to Candice at the front desk; her bright and friendly morning greetings always start my day on a high note. Whether staying on the city side or beach side, the views are stunning—I especially love the night view of modern skyscrapers and the early morning beach view. Service...

While in a great location, this is an old, dated hotel. The staff is great overall, but at times seemed overworked. My main issue is the “sewer” smell that permeates several rooms and floors. The first room we checked into (10th floor) was so awful We literally had to wait outside… When a housekeeping manager came up, she immediately smelled it, and said that she will take care of it and move us...

My stay at The Westin Chicago River North during the recent BRICs conference was exceptional and truly elevated the experience of attending a demanding professional event. The hotel perfectly balances high-level business functionality with top-tier personal comfort and an unbeatable location. ​The most crucial element for a conference attendee is a restorative night's sleep, and The Westin delivered...

I was expecting 3 beds in the room since I was Charged for three occupants, 2 people have to share a bed

We were pleasantly surprised to have our room upgraded and a late check-out added to our stay. Our room was spacious, clean, comfortable and had an amazing view. I had the best facial I've ever had at the Leaf Spa.

Was nice enough. Didn't "wow". Expected a sofa in room based on booking website, didn't get. Didn't get the free upgrade entitled associated with program we booked under. Hotel claimed they were full, not likely, as higher rooms could be be booked online that evening. Seems to be standard practice to deny this benefit by many chains participating in the program. Don't lie to us, just tell us...

I stayed last summer for a medical conference. Concierge Gail Walker reached out soon after I booked my stay to offer their services. They were very quick with responses, even calling me when email was too difficult to respond as I was busy working in the hospital. They asked my goals of the trip and anything I’d like to do. I let them know my fiancé was with me and that my partner deserved a romantic...

I expected a little more from a 4-star hotel. I’ve been to a good amount and I think Fairmont was the most disappointing of the bunch. When we first entered our room as went straight for the huge windows. It was a nice view overall, but then we found a sock behind the mini-bar. We let it go considering it was behind the bar/next to the couch. The location is great since it’s right near Millennium...

Clean, friendly check-in. By midnight we couldn’t handle the screaming child in an adjoining room. Front desk listened to recording for 2 seconds before promptly giving us a new room. We went from 32nd to 22nd floor tho. City view to partial view of MDaley Park. Hotel Restaurant was not equipped to handle their offered breakfast package. 2nd morning we opted to get ours “to go” since we couldn’t be...

I would recommend staying here. It was a great location, easy walk to the magnificent mile & Millennium Park. We used SpotHero find a very affordable covered parking with In-N-Out 24 access that was literally in the building attached to the hotel. Hotel staff was very nice. The room was a nice size, we had a nice view and a little couch in our room. That was nice to sit with a glass of wine and look...

Very comfortable bed, immaculate room, spacious restroom, Nestcafe coffee maker, and fancy soaps and shampoos. Hotel was spotless.

Everyone was very polite and helpful. The room was clean and all the staff was very courteous

Great place which really knows how to pamper you.

I had the absolute joy of getting married at The Drake Hotel on May 3, 2025, and I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience. From the moment we started planning in January 2024, Ali and Ariella were incredible — thoughtful, organized, responsive, and genuinely kind. Now that our wedding has come and gone, I honestly miss talking with them! We kicked off our wedding weekend with...

First trip to Chicago and so thankful we stayed at The Drake. What a gorgeous hotel in the most perfect location. Immediately upon walking in the most amazing floral smell from the beautiful flowers that adorn the lobby, greet you. Valet staff, lobby staff, desk staff and everyone else was so very pleasant. Room was wonderful and appreciated the two bathrooms we chose for our stay. We felt the history...

This review is strictly for the hotel, not the Afternoon Tea- which was lovely for the ambiance albeit a little overpriced. Anyone who believes the rooms are "dated" is NOT "getting it". This is THE DRAKE, a hotel of a bygone era of classic and impeccable tastes. Wallpaper, lion drawer pulls and a TUB you can actually SOAK IN?!?! Yes, please!!! I will admit a fridge and a microwave would be nice...

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Drake. Check-in was welcoming and efficient, and the front desk was always easy to reach via the Hilton app. As Hilton Honors Gold members, we were pleasantly surprised with complimentary room upgrades, which made us feel genuinely appreciated. One room had a limited view and not much natural light, but the corner room we also had was beautifully lit and very inviting...

Rooms look very dated and are relatively smaller. The TV system will remind you of early 2000's. There is no coffee maker in the room. Lobby is the best part of the hotel look and feel. Room hallways are very dark.

Great location to stay near Navy Pier but it is needing some updating. Rooms are in a little rough shape but bed was very comfortable. Also I always like having coffee in my room in the morning. You have to go down to the lobby to get your cup of joe to enjoy. We also had elevator noise in the room we were in. It was quite loud. All in all, just a building that needs a little love and $ to charge ...

We had a wonderful stay. Beautiful view to the lake. The room was clean, and it was specially decorated for our wedding night. Our breakfast was included. We were a little hesitant about the food since the restaurante does not have such great reviews. However we were both very happy with the breakfast. The swimming pool was nice.

Just meh. Will not stay here again, unfortunately the Marriott courtyard was sold out during my stay so I had to choose this one. This hotel is having an identity crisis as it’s marked as a luxury hotel but the rooms are rough. First off, I did not receive an upgraded room for my birthday nor anything special and as a Marriott high level member this was a bit disappointing. First time this has happened...

Spent a weekend in Chicago from LA and The Wade was an amazing hotel experience. The room was a great size with great city views, was very clean and the hospitality was amazing. Really enjoyed the large L shape couch that lined up against the edge corner of our room, made the stay very comfortable. This hotel had a very artsy vibe with numerous paintings all over. The lobby bar and restaurant were...

perfect location near everything in downtown. room heater was great

Location absolutely heart of city my room was perfect clean hotel safe place to walk anytime

On second day of our booking they told us that breakfast kitchen is closed due to slow business even we have paid paid for breakfast in booking but we didn’t get proper breakfast.. rest was ok

Good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good.

The hotel is beautiful and clean, located right in the city center. However, the service from the baggage handling staff was not enthusiastic; we had to carry our own luggage into the hotel, find our own luggage in the storage room, and carry it out to the car ourselves.

Stayed for two nights. It's in the bustling downtown area, which makes getting around very convenient.

Absolutely wonderful experience! I truly enjoyed the service provided — the staff were friendly and professional. The property was clean, perfectly located, and offered a peaceful atmosphere.”

Good location and good service

They do not serve breakfast at least during our stay that I was aware.

The quality of service was excellent. Very friendly staff and very accommodating hotel facilities. The Gym was good also.

Entire staff from Valets to desk and bar staff was amazing Only suggestion is more light in our room’s bathroom

Very good hotel. Very near to everything. River view totally worth it.

Great stay and great places to visit that are in walking distance

The hotel is in a good position and facing one of the most beautiful avenue of Chicago. Regarding my experience, the room was nice and clean. The view from the windows was nice. The staff was polite and available. The main disappointing point was the internet connection which was not working well. I would consider to stay again on this hotel but if you need a good internet connection for working this...

I'd like to recommend this hotel to anyone who plans to stay in Chicago for a while. It's perfect, and the service is wonderful, all very nice and firendly. The location is very convenient, and the place itself is clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a reliable and comfortable stay

We stayed at the Warwick Allerton during our Chicago visit. 2 adults and 6 children. The hotel was in a fantastic location on the magnificent mile, and a short walk to Navy Pier. The hotel was clean and staff gave us free bottled water. The only negative was paying $70 for parking. It was valet and we expected to pay a lot in the city but not having access to our car was a bummer!

The hotel’s best value lies in the location — 3 min to Starbucks Roastery, ~ 15/20 min walk to the magnificent mile, and close to subway stations. But lacking certain facilities which I consider necessary to ensure safety of solo travellers (access to different floors only by room keys, and a safe). Also the bed in the room was close to the door, so I could hear the elevator bells and people’s conversations...

Every aspect of staying here was excellent. I was in town for a convention and they allowed me to ship my inventory ahead of time to store it there. There was never any attitude or hesitation about helping me, and every employee I spoke to was very friendly. Great location on Michigan Ave made it easy to get around. When staying in Chicago, this will be my first choice every time.

I got a great room - temperature adjusted nicely with the wall unit, tv was fine, bathroom was super clean and the bed was sharp looking. I loved the bar on the level with the Lobby and loved the little cafe in the morning. I was only a little disappointed in the pillows, which was a nitpick. Only major disappointment was the door linking to the adjoining room must have not been very soundproof - the...

Awien helped my too early arriving at the hotel, and I could checked in.

Rooms were indeed somewhat small, but it was all that I needed after a busy day in Chicago. Everything here was great. I enjoyed my stay here and am anticipating returning in the future. Perfect!

We just did all the things and the Allegro was in the perfect spot. We arrived at Ogilvie and walked to the hotel. Then over 3 days we jumped on the L to McCormick Place, walked to the new Harry Potter store on Michigan, walked to the Art Institute to spend an afternoon and saw a play right next door at the Cadillac Theater. Sure the hotel could use some sprucing up but everything was clean, our...

Great Stay in Chicago Monica is very professional! I got an upgraded room and a bottle of red wine. Room was clean and huge. The loop where this hotel located is safe and so nice. Thank you for everything. I want to stay here when I visit Chicago again!

Let me preface this by saying I'm an engineer that values function over form. This hotel is in the theatre district so a collision isn't unexpected. First the pros: the in-house catered food for my conference was high quality; the melon slices actually had flavor! The staff is professional and friendly. The shower was great. The cons: the room decor is weird; you can't reach hotel staff from your in...

This hotel is absolutely beautiful! You feel such a good vibe the moment you walk into the hotel! We got a room with a queen sized bed. Although the room was quite small, it was updated nicely and it was very enjoyable! Would definitely stay here again!

The location was great, as I could walk everywhere. The check-in time was so tight that it was hard to wait. The US has so many unsanitary hotels, so it was generally clean. For the price in Chicago, where prices are high, I think this is excellent quality.

Very good quality bedding. Cleaning staffs did very well jobs. No hot water available for making tea. Shower water is not hot enough especially in cool days.

Very clean, comfortable bedding. In the busiest downtown area of ​​Chicago, there are many hotel options, and the prices are high. This one is relatively cost-effective. I booked six nights in mid-May only one week in advance, with an average price of about 3,500 RMB per night (the price difference is large every night, it seems that there was an exhibition during this period, and the hotel rooms were...

It can be said that this is the most cost-effective hotel I have stayed in the United States. The hotel has an excellent location and the overall design is very French modern. The design of the decoration, the selection of furniture, and the overall color matching are all very embodying. The service is very considerate, the room is cleaned in time, and the night bed is also turned on. The room is equipped...

I stayed in the same room for another week. A female staff member (of Asian descent) at the front desk asked to charge an extra 30 dollars per night (plus tax). First, it was not the peak season. Second, they charged more for the same room. I don't understand. Different attitudes of different staff members towards guests will affect the credibility of the hotel.

Facilities: Very good Hygiene: Very good Environment: Very good Service: Very good Overall, the service is very good. I am very happy staying here. The scenery of the hotel is also very good. I am warmly welcomed every day when I come back. I believe I will choose this hotel again next time I come to Chicago

Great stay! The staff at the front desk was very nice

I enjoyed the stay got a last minute reservation and it turned out great wasn’t much too stay either would stay with them again also the front desk lady very sweet.

Hotel was nice but they didn’t tell me I had to pay for parking plus breakfast wasn’t included just thought it was extra expensive and it wasn’t all that.

Overall, it was a satisfactory accommodation.

Great location for west loop and fulton market. All bars, restaurants and even grocery store within walking distance. The rooms are a little bit dated but everything is clean and the bed very comfy.

The location is perfect. I liked the balcony. The front staff is so kind. I will visit again.

I had such a pleasant stay at this hotel to celebrate my birthday! The room was glamorous and big! The staff were so nice and helpful. The restaurant and bar is so cool and food and drinks were amazing. Jose the bartender was so funny and awesome! I already want to come back!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The lobby is a tad small and took us a second to find our check-in desk. I was pleased with the room we were in. It had a nice view, a comfy bed, and a decent amount of space. The bathrooms products were also really nice, compared to other Marriott hotels. The front desk and kind and helpful. We had no major complaints. Not even the train, but then again, we...

I stayed at The Midland in Chicago and honestly had such a great experience. The staff really went out of their way to accommodate me, and I appreciated it more than they know. A special shoutout to Christopher — he was an absolute delight. Super helpful, patient, and genuinely kind the entire time. Little things like that make such a big difference when you’re traveling. Overall, the hotel was comfortable...

First time in Chicago and I booked a 3 night stay here recently. The pricing was really good for the area and o really liked the location. It was in the downtown area, not close to the river but it wasn't too far. The lobby and bar area was nice and modern, well lit. It had a really good vibe on Thursday night. The bar made pretty good drinks nothing special, but prices were outrageous (craft cocktail...

I enjoyed my stay at the W Chicago. It seems like the renovations have wrapped up (common complaint about the hotel) I also did not find the rooms to be overly dated. My room was modern, large, and comfortable. I didn't care for the loud, club-like atmosphere in the lobby/bar, nor did I like the heavy use of air freshener in the room. Luckily the windows open in the room so that I could get a bit of...

I originally gave a 5 star review on this place which you can find below. I decided to alter my review after I was charged over double of what I was supposed to be charged without any notice. I am currently in the process of disputing the increased cost and it has severely affected my experience with this hotel and their customer service overall. I left my original review up as well because all of...

During the AACR 10,000-person conference, the rooms were fully booked. I booked very late and it was quite expensive. There was nothing I could do. The room was average in size. The surrounding environment was good. It was a relatively safe downtown in Chicago. It was next to the Chicago River, a long way from the Big Pea and Lake Michigan. Across the street was the dock for the Chicago River cruise...

They gave us the room with the river view windows.

Conference hotel. Overall, no flaws. Very good. Good location. Opposite the Trump Building.

Great hotel in a great location.

The elevator is old and takes a long time to get to the 10th floor and above. There is no do not disturb sign and the waiter will knock on the door of each room. It's crazy.

The room is very narrow and the hotel is a bit old. There is a public lounge area for coffee, tea and work. It is next to the Chicago River and is quite noisy. There are many tourist buses at the door.

Check in process was easy and the staff was awesome as he guided me through the process. The hotel room is cleaned and well maintained and the view was immaculate. Location is great it was only a few minute walk from the station to get to the hotel. The washroom was a little old but it was clean. I would recommend it to anyone travelling to Chicago as it is a good hotel to stay at

Very good river view, and excellent service.

Very good river view, and excellent service.

The hotel is old, the corridors are not very clean, the air conditioning was broken and there was no heating. It is located in the city center, in a very bustling area. The American breakfast was plentiful and quite good.

The hotel boasts an excellent location, right next to all the main attractions. Self-check-in was super fast and convenient. The only minor drawback was that only one elevator was operating, which sometimes meant a long wait. However, even that didn't detract from our overall positive impression.

The waiter is nice, free coffee and drinking water are provided, and the location is convenient

Had a very pleasant stay. Thoughtful to have many convenient USB points, as well as a hdmi port at the work table. Would have been perfect if the TV could be rotated to face the work table and be used as a 2nd monitor. The couch was nicely firm and comfy

The hotel and staff went above and beyond our expectations, provided a complementary wheel chair, extended our check out time, and help by bringing our luggage to the room. Due to weather we stayed to make my husband's early morning heart doctor appointment without having to drive 3 hours in bad weather. We will certainly stay here whenever we have the opportunity again.

Great room - I liked the mid-century modern finishes. I also really enjoyed the fitness center and pool/hot tub.

We loved the experience here, fantastic room and view in addition the restaurant it was great!! 100% recommend

We had a great stay. The room was wonderful and the Manager, Debbie G. did an outstanding job addressing our needs.

We were satisfied with our room and restaurant. However, the pool and jacuzzi were not clean.
