This felt like a true international luxury property. It felt restorative and there was great attention to detail. Would highly recommend! Only negative is that the windows could use more sound proofing since you could hear some city noises such as ambulances from the nearby hospital.

Home away from home
A night in town for my birthday. Had to check in late but the room was available and well appointed with welcome champagne and fruit for my arrival. Upon check in I was offered a late check out even though I didn’t require it; it was a nice touch. Always professional, friendly and comfortable.

I loved the hotel. It was beautiful and the location was perfect. Their decoration for thanksgiving and Christmas was stunning. It’s a great luxury hotel however, the staff were not friendly. The room service was not great, they were too slow and we never had enough cups in the room. When I asked for 3 sets of tea of cups, I was asked how many people are staying in the hotel room. I did not like the question as it made me feel like she wanted to ensure I am not asking for more cups. I have stayed in luxury hotels before and I just didn’t feel that they valued me. Also, they charge for teas sachets which I think should be free. The staff downstairs were amazing though.

We have stayed at this location many, many times over the last 20 years or so. The staff is so welcoming, experienced and professional, and this includes everyone including the valet, doormen, bellmen, front desk, waiters and waitresses, room service, and housekeeping. I can not imagine any property offering a better experience, and the location is great.

The Peninsula is a beautiful and elegant hotel. The rooms and very comfortable and the staff is very friendly. The restaurant Shanghai Terrace within the hotel is one of my favorite restaurants. However, there was a real technical challenge with the Internet - good connectivity should be standard for a hotel of this category. My room was on the 11th floor and when I needed the Internet for a 3 hour virtual Teams meeting it constantly broke down. Two persons from the hotel tried to help without any success. In the end I had to use my cell phone and go on 5G. Sorry, but the poor connectivity is really not acceptable nowadays.

Whenever we visit Chicago we always stay at The Peninsula because the service is impeccable. We stay here each year for Northcoast music festival and for my wife’s birthday. The staff is extremely friendly and always looking to help make your stay memorable. Each night when we would get back from the festival they would have a bucket of ice and waters ready. I can’t speak highly enough of the staff.

This hotel was clean! All the staff were amazing! When we checked into the hotel the kids were given a scavenger hunt with a prize at the end. The hotel was only one block from Michigan Ave. It felt safe, even when returning late at night. There was always staff outside the entrance. Valet parking with in and out privileges. The hotel was up a level from the street, which added to the safe feeling. We would recommend it anyone.

Peninsula staycation
As the top rated hotel in the country, I’d say it’s close but not the very best. Prices are high and for what you pay per night I think expectations are not quite what they should be. Have stayed at other properties in Chicago that I would consider better in multiple ways.
