Michelin Guide "The sparkling Palomar brings innovation, style, and panache to the Windy City."
Frommer's "The Palomar's contemporary-cool look and eclectic decorative details put it firmly in boutique hotel territory, but its indoor pool and attached deck set it apart from the competition." Full review

Request one of the upgraded corner rooms for maximum light.

"The 261-room Hotel Palomar is one of the best Kimpton hotels in the city, and the only one in River North, near the Magnificent Mile." Full review
Star Service "Has evolved into one of the city's favorite hotels for its ability to combine cool coastal style with a Midwesterner's utter lack of pretension." Full review
Gayot "This 261-room hotel is located in River North, the artistic hub of downtown Chicago."
BlackBook "Boutique hotel gussied up by SF-based designer Orlando Diaz-Azcuy, featuring 17 floors and 261 rooms in smart colors and chic lines."
Travel + Leisure "This low-key hotel goes the extra mile to make families feel welcome (even including in-room child safety kits)." 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
