We've stayed at The Burnham for the past few years, both when passing through Chicago & enjoying a long weekend. I cannot say enough good things about this hotel. The staff is unbelievably friendly & we always feel at home here. We sometimes travel with our dog & this is the only hotel I would consider in that case. The... More

Four and half stars (I'm a very tough rater). Perfect location and a must for anybody interested in architecture. This was one of the first modern skyscrapers in the world. Maybe because this was Chicago in January, but the price (I thought) was more than reasonable for being smack-dead in the middle of the Loop. My room was very nice,... More

The Burnham is a treat, old style Chicago building in the Loop and close to businesses and entertainment. The restaurant and bar are superb (I am a fan of bloody marys and crabcakes). Its all cozy and warm without seeming small. I've stayed there about 5 times and keep going back. Superb service and...its pet friendly. Kind of nice to... More

We live in Milwaukee and have visited Chicago for decades. This is one of the best possible locations - a few minutes walk from the Art Institute and Millennium Park, across the street from Macy's (Marshall Fields), short walk from Union Station, Navy Pier, Buddy Guy's, Magnificent Mile, Theater District, the EL, etc, etc. Small 16 floor hotel feels like...

I come to Chicago once a year on business and have until now always stayed at the Palmer House Hilton around the corner from Hotel Burnham, this year it was full so work booked me into Hotel Burnham and I am really glad they did! Pros: The service was very friendly and welcoming, the hotel feels reasonably small and intimate.... More

DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL IF YOUR A SMOKER!!!!!! There was nothing posted that this is a non smoking facility. They charged us 500.00 cleaning fee!!!! More

I stayed here for only one night, but I was sorry it wasn't longer. This hotel is fabulous. All the staff, from the doorman to the front desk, were incredibly friendly, helpful, accommodating, and professional. My room (Queen Deluxe) was very attractive and comfortable, and I loved my view down onto the street (and at the Old Navy). I took... More

Stayed at the Hotel Burnham during a recent business trip, and was so impressed by the staff. Our group was greeted warmly on arrival and given a run down of the offerings (including coffee in the AM and a number of items available if you forgot to pack them). Once in my room, I realized I needed some toothpaste and... More

After reading other reviews I decided to reserve a room at the Hotel Burnham for my son and his wife's first anniversary. I can't begin to tell you how very helpful the hotel was in setting everything up!! The room they stayed in was gorgeous! It was a corner room on the historic 7th floor and they were both beyond...
