Michelin Guide "Peace and quiet in an elegant setting."
Fodor's "It's no wonder lovey-dovey couples are a big part of this hotel's clientele; everything here—from the roaring fireplace in the lobby to the cozy rooms' Victorian-style furnishings—says romance." Full review
Insight Guides "Tucked into a residential neighborhood between Lincoln Park and Wrigley Field, this option is modest, rather than majestic, but quite comfortable. ."
Gayot "Although it was built in the style of an English manor, this boutique hotel doesn't limit guests to afternoon tea and crumpets."
Zagat4.0
"This “inviting” inn tucked away in the Lakeview neighborhood has a “great Chicago feel to it” and is a “nice change from chain hotels"."
Frommer's "Located on a charming tree-lined street -- but convenient to the many restaurants and shops of Lincoln Park -- the Majestic Hotel is a good choice for anyone looking for a quiet retreat." Full review

If you can, book one with a sun porch.
Time Out "If you're looking to spend a lot of time in Wrigleyville, Boystown or Lincoln Park, the Majestic Hotel is a prime location." Full review
Frommer's "The hotel is popular with relatives visiting family nearby. Rooms and some suites even have a small sunroom to sit in and watch the neighborhood outside. Continental breakfast is included." Full review
Lonely PlanetTop choice
"Rooms are slightly larger than those at sibling hotels the City Suites and Willows, and the location is more remote and therefore quieter." Full review

Fodor's "It's a bustling convention hotel, but one that retains its distinguished 1920s heritage in a Renaissance-inspired entrance hall and gold-and-gilt grand ballroom." Full review

"The historic, 1,544-room Hilton Chicago once hosted presidents and dignitaries, but today it's just a massive chain hotel in South Loop, a little far from many popular tourist sites." Full review
Time Out "The hotel boasts its own charm: fine art décor, 'executive' level for pampering and pub authenticity from Irish exchange program for staff." Full review
Star Service "The capacious lobby of this monolith—bright with chandeliers, marble and faux-gold flourishes, and frescoes overhead—makes a dramatic first impression. " Full review
Gayot "It is in a good location, near the city's celebrated Art Institute."
Zagat4.0
"“Though showing some age”, this “old grand hotel” with an “exquisitely decorated” lobby is “still a classy place” where “helpful” staffers cater to a mix of conference guests and families."
Not For Tourists "Lots of conferences at this enormous hotel."
Frommer's "The sprawling Hilton is one of the Loop's best choices for families, thanks to its indoor pool, proximity to major museums and Grant Park (where kids can run around)" Full review
Lonely Planet "This was the world’s largest hotel, having close to 3000 rooms... renovations brought that total down to a mere 1544, but the gilt grandeur and crystal-dripping class have remained." Full review
