We loved our stay - beautiful area, beautiful hotel and room, great service. Only reason to not give it a full five stars is that our room heating furnace needed fixing when we first arrived (resolved easily within 20 mins), and the entertainment/phone system in the room stopped working a couple of hours before we checked out (movie TV system stopped working, phone had constant busy signal). They kindly gave us a discount on checkout due to these inconveniences. So I'd still love the opportunity to come back again.

Not a five star experience in my opinion. The carpet in our room had about 20 stains. Room did not feel clean. The bathroom marble is all brown. We asked for another room but they had no availability. We were celebrating my child's birthday, asked for something special in the room and nothing was setup. It took about 40 mins to get our vehicle from valet upon checkout. Overall experience was very poor for the price and quality that should be received at a 5-star establishment. Would not visit again. Langham Chicago is far superior!

I couldn’t give this anything less than 5 stars. Absolutely amazing experience. The staff was friendly and helpful, the hotel was clean and smelled amazing, and the shower and deep soaking tub made our relaxation getaway successful. The balcony topped off the night. I will stay at this hotel every time I come to Chicago.

Their attitude is bad.My flight was delayed for 17 hrs, so I arrived the hotel late on the second. They cancelled my room and refused to refund the money. We were focused to book another hotel immediately and they didn’t notify us that they won’t refund at all! I argued for one hour, but they only refund us for one day. I don’t understand why I have to experience this in a hotel as fancy as this

No coffee maker in the room. I called the front desk to see if there was free coffee and they connected me with the in room dining which then charged me $45 for a coffee. I told them I understood it was a free service and they said they would follow up. When I checked out the front desk indicated there was no charge so I assumed they had removed it but I found the $45 charge later and called customer service and had a very rude and frustrating interaction. The whole experience left a bad taste on what had otherwise been a nice hotel and I am disappointed that I won’t be going back considering the way I was treated.

The location of the hotel is very nice, walkable to pretty much everywhere you want to be, a nice stroll of 15 minutes gets you to River Walk, 5 minutes walk and you find yourself on the Magnificent Mile or the Hancock tower. That being said, the hotel itself could deliver a better experience for a luxury hotel it claims to be. It lacks normal lobby, has a restaurant that closes at a quite early hour and yet the room service was not available the day we arrived because "a lot of people called off"... Also there was a distinct unpleasant smell in the room that we brought up with the hotel, and no one followed up on the issue. The front desk lady never informed us at the check in, that the hotel provides complimentary transportation service to its guests for trips within 1 mile radius of the hotel, which pretty much was everywhere we went throughout our stay and often times got a cab or an uber to do so. The restaurant of the hotel "The Brasserie" is very nice, they serve delicious breakfast and have live music on the weekends which was a very nice touch. Overall the hotel is clean and quite well maintained, however it does not have the sense of luxury that Waldorf is supposed to give. I would probably not select it next time I'm in Chicago.

Beautiful hotel all around and nice facilities. Staff was friendly and helpful. At check in, it was discovered that they oversold our room type, so we were given a complimentary upgrade to a suite, which was a great turn of events. The bar and breakfast had great service and food/drink options. Even on new years eve, we found seats at the bar before our dinner reservation. While it's obviously a hotel for folks who have money to spend, $80 to valet a car for the night seems a bit excessive as do some of the spa packages.

more about location than fanciness
definitely a comfortable room, nice hotel, and the service is amazing, but the cost doesn't really match the room in my opinion. it's more about location. you're close to everything in gold coast. parking is extra and also expensive. be also aware that it's dog-friendly here which is good if you want to bring your dog(s) but some dogs got pretty loud. you can sometimes hear them in your room.

We had a great time, but our room (suite) had a pretty shabby couch, the in room dining options are pretty limited and not well executed, everything took a long time (1hr for a pot of coffee), baggage (2hrs), etc. For this tier of hotel (we were paying almost $900/night for our room), I would have expected much more.
