Fodor's "The lobby of this classic hotel has gold-trimmed walls, a gold sofa, and modern flower arrangements that make it an unusual mix of old and new." Full review

Michelin Guide "It's all very fancy, with gilded furnishings and tasseled silk canopy beds, but it's good to be king."

For views of both the city and lakefront, ask for a room on a high floor in the northeast corner.
Concierge "For a historic stay with a dash of flash, the Burnham is the place."
Fodor's "The design aesthetic inside is pleasantly funky, with Art Deco touches and zebra and leopard prints on the rooms' terry robes." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Perhaps no other hotel showcases Chicago’s impressive architectural history like the Burnham." Full review

Rest your head on down, foam, or even buckwheat ordered up from the hotel’s pillow menu.
Time Out "This historic architectural treasure morphed from the Reliance Building into the Hotel Burnham. Yet a National Historic Landmark, the hotel isn't stuck in the 19th century." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Set in the magnificent Daniel Burnham-designed Reliance Building, this stunning hotel is both classic and cheerfully contemporary."
BlackBook "A glamorous mix of historic location and modern style located in the Reliance Building, the world's first steel-frame skyscraper."
Zagat4.5
"This “excellent” Kimpton boutique "just blocks away" from theaters and museums is a “superb restoration” of an 1895 skyscraper with “a lot of character” and “exceptional” rooms."
Condé Nast Traveler82.6
"Named for Chicago architect Daniel Burnham, this steel-and-glass former office building with a terra-cotta facade in the downtown Loop receives perfect scores for its location across from Macy’s." Full review
