"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

"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."

"This makes this already-distinctive property even more unique. With only 35 guest rooms reservations here aren't always easy to come by."
Condé Nast Traveler
"The second-largest Soho House debuts in the city’s hip West Loop, in a 1907 warehouse that’s been converted into a hotel and private club with 40 guest rooms." Full review
Afar Magazine
"With a room key comes all the perks afforded to members, like access to all restaurants, the gym (which features a professional boxing ring), a movie screening theater, and the swanky rooftop pool." Full review

"Each property in the rapidly expanding Soho House portfolio seems to outdo itself, and the group’s latest outpost - this time in Chicago - is no exception." Full review

"Designed as a haven for people with creative professions to have a home away from home, Soho House isn't just a hotel, it's also a member's club." Full review

"There’s a rooftop pool, a killer house restaurant (and a separate white-tablecloth option), Cowshed spa, tricked-out gym with boxing ring, and a 40-room hotel." Full review
Fodor's
"This private members club feels like a bohemian artist's loft; it's not uncommon to find artists, architects, and musicians lounging in the chandelier-decked lobby." Full review
