Star Service "Leisure travelers seeking an intimate refuge will find the exact opposite here, except when there are no conventions or Chicago Bears games; at those times, the hotel resembles a ghost town." 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."

"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.

Concierge "The hotel makes a good base for walking tours of the Loop's architectural landmarks, and is across the street from Grant Park, site of many lakefront festivals."
Fodor's "The lobby of this classic hotel has gold-trimmed walls, a gold sofa, and modern flower arrangements that make it an unusual mix of old and new." Full review
