Michelin Guide "The accommodations offer a respite from the city pace with their quiet elegance and high-quality amenities."
Frommer's "With the feel of an upscale European inn -- and a loyal clientele of regulars -- the Talbott is one of the city's best small, independent hotels." Full review
Fodor's "Built in 1927, the hotel retains bits of that historical feel but has also focused on making the space eco- and tech-friendly." Full review
Time Out "Quite possibly the only hotel in the world with a life-sized cow mounted on its frontage... this boutique hotel is reminiscent of a small, upmarket European inn." Full review
Star Service "On a lovely tree-lined street one block from Water Tower Place...this is the perfect hotel for those who suffer existential angst while staying at the large generic chain hotels." Full review
Gayot "Built in 1927, this hotel strives for --- and achieves --- opulent English elegance."

You'll want to avoid the lower-level floors if you like things quiet.
Concierge "This 143-room gem in the southern part of the Loop was one of many jewels in the crown of Chicago architect D.H. Burnham."

Ask for a high-floor room to avoid noise from the El train along Wabash Avenue.
Lonely Planet "Although the exterior was designed by Daniel Burnham’s firm, the hotel’s interior recalls Frank Lloyd Wright: the chunky wood furniture has a distinct Prairie School charm." Full review
Time Out "The late 19th-century Arts and Crafts style is evident outside and in, with wrought-iron pieces adding accents to the comfortable (if slightly dated) decorations in each room." Full review
Gayot "This beauty sits right on Jeweler's Row, two blocks from the Art Institute of Chicago and one block from shopping on State Street."
DK Eyewitness "Set in the landmark Silversmith building, this terra-cotta-clad Arts and Crafts-style structure was designed by legendary Chicago architects D.H. Burnham and Company."
Gayot "Stylish, well-sited accommodations with continental flair and plenty of above par amenities."

In the morning, AC Kitchen serves up a European-style breakfast buffet stocked with pastries, artisan cured meats and cheeses; and at the end of the day, the AC Lounge is the place to relax over craft cocktails and light bites (make sure to check out the Monopoly-inspired art installations).
Zagat "This sophisticated Loop cocktail lounge in the Jewelers Row’s Silversmith Hotel comes complete with a creative New American noshing menu and stylish bar area." Full review
Jetsetter "Boutique gem in the Loop with chic, high-ceilinged rooms and a swanky cocktail lounge." Full review
