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."
Zagat3.8
"“Extremely comfortable and well-appointed rooms” are the highlight at this “quaint” and “cozy” “European-style” independent with Frette linens."

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
