Fodor's "The Swissôtel's triangular Harry Weese design allows for panoramic vistas of the city, lake, or river—and the comfortable, contemporary rooms feel like condos, with marble bathrooms." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Swiss efficiency in downtown Chicago with services geared for business travelers (there's a new 38,000-square-foot event center)." Full review
Jetsetter "Refined Swiss sophistication, crisp service and unmatched views of the Windy City and Lake Michigan." Full review
Time Out "The hotel is a thoroughly high-tech operation, from the ergonomically designed furniture to the 42nd-floor state-of-the-art fitness center offering jaw-dropping views of Lake Michigan." Full review
Star Service "At Illinois Center, next door to the larger, bustling Hyatt and across the river from the Sheraton, this Swiss treat is a standout when it comes to location and views from the amenity-rich guest rooms." Full review
Gayot "This hotel's decor manages to be both modern and warm at the same time, with a chic limestone-floored lobby and cool, inviting colors throughout."
Zagat4.5
"“Modern and comfy” rooms showcase “killer views” of the Chicago River and Lake Michigan at this “outstanding” “customer-oriented” property that remains “European at its core.”"
Frommer's "Gorgeous views on all sides, including the lake to the east. The rooms are more practical than plush, with large work desks and lots of natural light coming in from the windows" Full review
Lonely Planet "Water vistas are just part of the attraction at this triangular-shaped, mirrored-glass high-rise at the confluence of river and lake." Full review

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
