Michelin Guide
"It's all very fancy, with gilded furnishings and tasseled silk canopy beds, but it's good to be king."
Frommer's

For views of both the city and lakefront, ask for a room on a high floor in the northeast corner.

Rest your head on down, foam, or even buckwheat ordered up from the hotel’s pillow menu.
Time Out
"This historic architectural treasure morphed from the Reliance Building into the Hotel Burnham. Yet a National Historic Landmark, the hotel isn't stuck in the 19th century." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"Set in the magnificent Daniel Burnham-designed Reliance Building, this stunning hotel is both classic and cheerfully contemporary."
BlackBook
"A glamorous mix of historic location and modern style located in the Reliance Building, the world's first steel-frame skyscraper."

4.5
"This “excellent” Kimpton boutique "just blocks away" from theaters and museums is a “superb restoration” of an 1895 skyscraper with “a lot of character” and “exceptional” rooms."

"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."
Zagat
