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."

Michelin Guide "Walk through the cobblestoned motor court that resembles a French chateau, and step into the striking lobby-you'll think you've died and gone to haute heaven at this grand dime."
Concierge "The Elysian, a 2009 arrival to Chicago's hotel scene, may be the most elegant boutique hotel to open in the city in years."
Fodor's "The elegant roms are furnished with platinum- and champagne-color palettes and textured wallpaper; and most of the marble-covered bathrooms have a deep soaking tub." Full review

"The Waldorf-Astoria offers top-of-the-line luxury in Chicago. With an intimate, boutique feel -- but all the amenities of a large hotel -- the 215-room Waldorf caters to leisure and..." Full review
Time Out "Those who’d rather not penny-pinch on their next staycation can go all out at this Gold Coast hotel, where the guest rooms average 890 square feet." Full review
Star Service "Between State and North Rust streets, three blocks west of the John Hancock Tower, this swanky property is pitched as an alternative for gourmands and fashionistas seeking a more intimate pad." Full review

Zagat4.7
"This “grand” Gold Coast outpost is the “ultimate in luxury” and gets “10 stars” from fans for its “subtle style”, “exceptional service” and “impeccable attention to details.”"
Forbes Travel Guide 4 Stars
"Waldorf Astoria Chicago, which was until recently The Elysian hotel, is an Art Deco jewel inspired by the style of Coco Chanel." Full review
Frommer's "The lavishness continues inside the hotel, which you could call “French manor-style,” but “palatial” is more accurate." Full review
