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

Avoid the lowest floors, which lack views.
Gayot "Rooms are very pleasantly decorated, and many offer terrific views of Lake Michigan and the Chicago skyline."

"An “excellent choice for a convention stay”, this "classy" chain outpost connected to McCormick Place convention center throws in such business perks as free WiFi for one device."

"Located on the near South Side of Chicago, the Hyatt Regency is far from most of Chicago's attractions and is not within walking distance to any notable shopping, restaurants, or nightlife." Full review
Jetsetter "Lakefront mega-hotel for biz and leisure travelers alike with skyline views and an impressive health club." Full review
Time Out "The only hotel adjoining McCormick Place, this Hyatt offers 800 rooms to convention-going patrons." Full review
Frommer's "Rising 33 stories from Chicago's sprawling convention center, the Hyatt Regency is often solidly booked during trade shows and meetings." Full review

The average-size rooms are decorated in standard business-hotel style; if you can, request one on the north side, which features panoramic views of the city skyline and Lake Michigan.
Lonely Planet "If you’re manning a show booth at McCormick Place, you can’t beat the short walk to your bed in this attached hotel." Full review
