Condé Nast Traveler99.6
"A renovated 285-room hotel in a prime Gold Coast location, a short walk from Lake Michigan and the Magnificent Mile." Full review
Gayot "These days, its new role is to redefine not only Chicago's hotel scene, but the boutique hotel world --- at least, that's what hotelier Ian Schrager set out to do when he took over."
BlackBook "Having created the monster that is boutique hotel culture, Ian Schrager has now revived Chicago's storied Ambassador East in a decisively anti-glamour manner."
Zagat3.8
"This “stunning” Ian Schrager boutique “tucked away” on the Gold Coast is an “elegant redesign” of the old Ambassador East."
Frommer's "Located in the Gold Coast, surrounded by million-dollar mansions, the property has managed to woo its neighbors, with whom you’ll rub elbows at the popular Pump Room restaurant." Full review
Lonely Planet "Today people still come to admire the celebrity photos, grab a round booth and dig into golden-age classics at the restaurant." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Hotelier Ian Schrager knows glamour, and The Public is a re-imagined Gold Coast hotspot—an au courant transformation of the historic see-and-be-seen Ambassador East Hotel." Full review

OysterLuxury
"Opened in late 2010, this upscale hotel is housed in a historic neoclassical-style building with crystal chandeliers and a grand staircase in the lobby." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Its location in the Loop, a block from the Board of Trade, screams “business hotel,” but this 610-room Marriott defies that categorization." Full review
Star Service "Nonetheless, this Marriott is one of the only deluxe-leaning addresses in The Loop, as most of the deluxe hotels cluster near Michigan Avenue, north of the river.
" Full review
Gayot "Among American cities, Chicago has one of the finest architectural legacies, which is why we're so glad to see the restoration of its Daniel Burnham."
BlackBook "The 610-room hotel focuses on modern luxury with crisp and sophisticated rooms set with bright, warm colors and amenities like an indoor pool and a spa complete with Turkish baths."
Zagat3.8
""Contemporary meets traditional" at this upscale, business-focused chain outlet in a renovated historic Daniel Burnham building featuring marble bathrooms with “excellent” stand-alone tubs."

"This palatial early 20th century bank, complete with Corinthian columns, winding staircases, an over-the-top ballroom and endless marble, is an opulent nod to history." Full review
