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

Michelin Guide "Walk through the cobblestoned motor court that resembles a French chateau, and step into the striking lobby-you'll think you've died and gone to haute heaven at this grand dime."
Concierge "The Elysian, a 2009 arrival to Chicago's hotel scene, may be the most elegant boutique hotel to open in the city in years."
Fodor's "The elegant roms are furnished with platinum- and champagne-color palettes and textured wallpaper; and most of the marble-covered bathrooms have a deep soaking tub." Full review

Forbes Travel Guide 4 Stars
"Waldorf Astoria Chicago, which was until recently The Elysian hotel, is an Art Deco jewel inspired by the style of Coco Chanel." Full review
Frommer's "The lavishness continues inside the hotel, which you could call “French manor-style,” but “palatial” is more accurate." Full review
