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
