Top Downtown Chicago Hotel Reviews

InterContinental Chicago Magnificent Mile by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room"

The Whitehall Hotel, BW Premier Collection

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast menu was good and it was an American style breakfast which means there was more than donuts and coffee. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable about Chicago and the room was comfortable except for not having heat, you know it is Chicago in January, other than that, I would recommend others to give the Whitehall Hotel a try and the CTA buses were across the street."
