Concierge "Blu is well placed in the city, within easy striking distance of both Millennium Park and North Michigan Avenue."
Fodor's "With design savvy inside as well as out, this gem has generously sized rooms and so many amenities and so much outdoor space that it feels like an upscale resort in the heart of downtown." Full review
Star Service "This state-of-the-art hotel—the first Radisson Blu to open in North America—occupies the lower 18 floors of the Aqua Tower in Chicago's Loop, just north of Millennium Park.
" Full review
Gayot "This iconic tower in downtown Chicago houses 334 stylish rooms, including fifteen king suites, two Lakeshore suites and the Aqua two-bedroom Presidential Suite."
Condé Nast Traveler "Set inside an undulating, 82-story skyscraper designed by architect Jeanne Gang, this hotel takes Scandinavian design to rather sleek heights, even if it only occupies the first 18 floors." Full review
The Telegraph9.0

Ipads are in all rooms for navigation and any requests you need.
Frommer's "This LEED-Silver certified building is, hands-down, the most beautiful high rise to be built in Chicago in the last decade." Full review

About half of the rooms have balconies (a Chicago rarity) so request one; there’s no extra charge.

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."
Zagat4.0
"This “inviting” inn tucked away in the Lakeview neighborhood has a “great Chicago feel to it” and is a “nice change from chain hotels"."
Frommer's "Located on a charming tree-lined street -- but convenient to the many restaurants and shops of Lincoln Park -- the Majestic Hotel is a good choice for anyone looking for a quiet retreat." Full review

If you can, book one with a sun porch.
Time Out "If you're looking to spend a lot of time in Wrigleyville, Boystown or Lincoln Park, the Majestic Hotel is a prime location." Full review
Frommer's "The hotel is popular with relatives visiting family nearby. Rooms and some suites even have a small sunroom to sit in and watch the neighborhood outside. Continental breakfast is included." Full review
Lonely PlanetTop choice
"Rooms are slightly larger than those at sibling hotels the City Suites and Willows, and the location is more remote and therefore quieter." Full review
