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

Travel + Leisure "Guests don't have sacrifice personal touches for convenience at this downtown Loop boutique hotel, which overlooks the Chicago River." Full review
Time Out "Monaco’s facilities and location have made it popular with business travelers, but this funky Kimpton hotel rewards those who are simply here to relax." Full review
Star Service "This hotel earns praise for both its constant maintenance and hard-working staff. The hotel is a looker, dressed with bold designer appointments and daring colors." Full review
Gayot "The French-deco decor smacks of good taste and has that polished not-lived-in-yet look."
BlackBook "The old-school gothic lettering of its logo on the front of the building belies the lack of pretention at this boutique four-star Loop hotel."
Zagat4.3

Not For Tourists "Hip boutique hotel run by the Kimpton Group."
