Frommer's "More comfortable than swanky... On the cutting edge of environmental awareness and has won awards for its eco-friendly practices." Full review

"This 790-room behemoth right on the Magnificent Mile mixes historic charm... with the lackluster contemporary decor of an upscale chain." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The result is an opulent wonderland of terracotta fountains, hand-painted murals, marble mosaics and a 12,000-pound Baccarat crystal chandelier." Full review
Star Service "Built by the Shriners as the Medinah Athletic Club, this place is a tourist attraction all its own, with sightseers occasionally rubbernecking through the public areas on self-guided audio tours. " Full review

The location here on the Magnificent Mile is hard to beat, but be sure to request a corner Michigan Avenue-facing room in the Historic tower.
BlackBook "Acting as the right aorta in the shopping heart of Chicago, it's the only downtown hotel with a front entrance to the Magnificent Mile."
Zagat4.0
"This “beautiful” renovated historic hotel with a "convenient" Michigan Avenue location is the “perfect marriage of old and new” and features a “gorgeous” four-story lobby with tapestries."
Time Out "Complete with an Indiana limestone facade, embellished with relief sculptures and a golden dome at its pinnacle, the building became in instant architectural marvel. " Full review
Not For Tourists "We love the chocolate and wine bar."
Gayot "This building was constructed in 1929 and was returned to its original architectural grandeur by the InterContinental chain in 1990."
Michelin Guide 2 Stars
"The exquisite lobby is the showpiece of the Intercontinental... Though not as grand, the accommodations are decorated in the same old-world vein." Full review

Michelin Guide "This hotel has the cottage look down pat, and the upbeat personality extends to the guestrooms."
Frommer's "The Indigo is perfect for anyone looking for a cool (but not too edgy) alternative to the cookie-cutter business hotel." Full review
Concierge "Part of a midpriced boutique chain launched by InterContinental Hotels, the Hotel Indigo has an exuberant Margaritaville-meets-Nantucket design theme."
Fodor's "Even though this hotel caters to business travelers, there is something refreshingly noncorporate about its guest rooms and lobby, which is dressed in plucky blues and greens."
Travel + Leisure "As soon as the blue-and-white sailor-striped décor begins to make you forget the city outside, the genius of the beach concept becomes apparent." Full review
Star Service "A more free-spirited version of Starwood's W Hotel brand, this place is geared more toward cost-cutting commercial types and midrange leisure travelers." Full review
Gayot "This member of the Indigo collection brings stylish, inexpensive chain lodging to the Windy City."
BlackBook "It's tucked away on a quiet Gold Coast residential street, and that's exactly how they'd like to make you feel: at home."
Zagat4.2
"A “very friendly” staff welcomes guests at this “cozy” boutique with “fun Florida Keys decor”, where the “beach-themed” rooms are on the “smaller” side but “bright and comfortable"."
Condé Nast Traveler "A quiet oasis in one of Chicago's most tourist-friendly neighborhoods, Claridge House offers the best of both worlds" Full review
