Michelin Guide "The accommodations offer a respite from the city pace with their quiet elegance and high-quality amenities."
Frommer's "With the feel of an upscale European inn -- and a loyal clientele of regulars -- the Talbott is one of the city's best small, independent hotels." Full review
Fodor's "Built in 1927, the hotel retains bits of that historical feel but has also focused on making the space eco- and tech-friendly." Full review
Time Out "Quite possibly the only hotel in the world with a life-sized cow mounted on its frontage... this boutique hotel is reminiscent of a small, upmarket European inn." Full review
Star Service "On a lovely tree-lined street one block from Water Tower Place...this is the perfect hotel for those who suffer existential angst while staying at the large generic chain hotels." Full review
Gayot "Built in 1927, this hotel strives for --- and achieves --- opulent English elegance."
Zagat3.8
"“Extremely comfortable and well-appointed rooms” are the highlight at this “quaint” and “cozy” “European-style” independent with Frette linens."

"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
