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."

Gayot "When it opens in summer 2013, this property --- formerly The Sutton Place Hotel --- will blend in perfectly with its luxe surroundings in Chicago's affluent Gold Coast neighborhood."
Frommer's "As I write this, The Thompson is the “it” place in Chicago, thanks to its quirky cool design, plus the popular onsite restaurant, Nico Osteria." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Four things really stand out at the Windy City’s 247-room Thompson hotel: the superlative service, the location... the rooms... and, most of all, the restaurant." Full review
