Michelin Guide
"Peace and quiet in an elegant setting."
Fodor's
"It's no wonder lovey-dovey couples are a big part of this hotel's clientele; everything here—from the roaring fireplace in the lobby to the cozy rooms' Victorian-style furnishings—says romance." Full review
Insight Guides
"Tucked into a residential neighborhood between Lincoln Park and Wrigley Field, this option is modest, rather than majestic, but quite comfortable. ."
Gayot
"Although it was built in the style of an English manor, this boutique hotel doesn't limit guests to afternoon tea and crumpets."
Zagat

Frommer's

Gayot
"These days, its new role is to redefine not only Chicago's hotel scene, but the boutique hotel world --- at least, that's what hotelier Ian Schrager set out to do when he took over."
BlackBook
"Having created the monster that is boutique hotel culture, Ian Schrager has now revived Chicago's storied Ambassador East in a decisively anti-glamour manner."
Zagat
3.8
"This “stunning” Ian Schrager boutique “tucked away” on the Gold Coast is an “elegant redesign” of the old Ambassador East."
Frommer's
"Located in the Gold Coast, surrounded by million-dollar mansions, the property has managed to woo its neighbors, with whom you’ll rub elbows at the popular Pump Room restaurant." Full review
Lonely Planet
"Today people still come to admire the celebrity photos, grab a round booth and dig into golden-age classics at the restaurant." Full review
Travel + Leisure
"Hotelier Ian Schrager knows glamour, and The Public is a re-imagined Gold Coast hotspot—an au courant transformation of the historic see-and-be-seen Ambassador East Hotel." Full review
