Travel + Leisure "Swiss efficiency in downtown Chicago with services geared for business travelers (there's a new 38,000-square-foot event center)." Full review
Jetsetter "Refined Swiss sophistication, crisp service and unmatched views of the Windy City and Lake Michigan." Full review
Time Out "The hotel is a thoroughly high-tech operation, from the ergonomically designed furniture to the 42nd-floor state-of-the-art fitness center offering jaw-dropping views of Lake Michigan." Full review
Star Service "At Illinois Center, next door to the larger, bustling Hyatt and across the river from the Sheraton, this Swiss treat is a standout when it comes to location and views from the amenity-rich guest rooms." Full review
Gayot "This hotel's decor manages to be both modern and warm at the same time, with a chic limestone-floored lobby and cool, inviting colors throughout."
Zagat4.5
"“Modern and comfy” rooms showcase “killer views” of the Chicago River and Lake Michigan at this “outstanding” “customer-oriented” property that remains “European at its core.”"
Frommer's "Gorgeous views on all sides, including the lake to the east. The rooms are more practical than plush, with large work desks and lots of natural light coming in from the windows" 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."
Zagat3.7

"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
