Top Water Tower Place Hotel Reviews

Hotel Saint Clair- Magnificent Mile

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in a great location, about a block off Michigan Avenue. It is a charming old building, around a hundred years old. There was a bit of a problem, however, because of elevators. There are two, which is fine, but when one was out of commission for a spell, the waits were long."

Eurostars Magnificent Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic Stay at Eurostars Magnificent Mile – Exceeded Expectations! Our stay at Eurostars Magnificent Mile was even better than expected! The property is conveniently located, beautifully maintained, and offers a fantastic home base for exploring downtown Chicago. The entire staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and accommodating throughout our visit. Our room was absolutely perfect, featuring an amazing panoramic view of the Chicago skyline that really made our stay special. We also ordered from the hotel restaurant and were pleasantly surprised by how quick, convenient, and affordable it was. The wings and burger were both delicious, and having such a great dining option right at the hotel was an added bonus. Overall, Eurostars Magnificent Mile exceeded our expectations with its combination of comfort, location, hospitality, and value. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely recommend this property to anyone visiting Chicago. We would happily stay here again!"

Millennium Hotel Knickerbocker Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"I really enjoyed my stay at the Millennium Knickerbocker. The room was clean, updated, and spacious, with plenty of room to spread out and get comfortable. I especially appreciated how quiet it was, making it easy to relax after a busy day in the city. Overall, a comfortable stay, and I have stayed here before and would stay again."

Hilton Chicago/Magnificent Mile Suites

8/10 Good

"Front desk staff was very helpful and friendly. Room could have been a bit better maintained; one bathroom door stuck and was hard to open and night tables were chipped. View of Lake Michigan from the room was amazing though and the hotel is walking distance to a lot of attractions. Free HBOMax was also a nice bonus."
