My husband and I stayed at the Elysian on our wedding night and the night after. We couldnt have started our honeymoon at a better place. I'm an interior designer and am a little snobby about hotel atmosphere. The only disappointment you have here is having to leave. I must say I am a little saddened that they were bout... More

This hotel is 5 stars all the way. I travel extensively and the Elysian is as good if not better than my favorite hotels in Asia. The staff are fabulous and the service is a standout. From the greeter, front desk, gym, room service everyone was warm and responsive. My room was huge with a drawing room with open fire,... More

This was our third time back to the Elysian. Our first night it was the Elysian and our second night it was the Waldorf-Astoria. Good news: You now get Hilton Honor points. Bad news: No one knows if the name will remain and you get Hilton Honor points. Service is still impecable and the spa is the cities best. If... More

We enjoyed a weekend stay for my husband's birthday. I will only be repeating what the other reviewers mention, but that's okay. From the moment we entered the hotel to the time we left, everything was wonderful. The service was professional, discreet and courteous. If you are looking for ostentatious luxury, you need to look elsewere. This hotel is classy... More

I stayed at the Elysian for a corporate event in Chicago. Fantastic hotel with an incredible staff. From the moment you walk in the doors they cater to your every need. Very nice property - rooms are spacious, double sided fireplace, spa-like bathroom. The food for all of the events was incredible. Cannot say enough about this great hotel! Don't... More

It's no surprise to hear that the Elysian is soon going to be the Waldorf Astoria of Chicago. This place is first class. Elegant, spacious rooms have wonderful extras like a fireplace, refrigerator drawer full of beverages, freezer drawer with ice, a tub & shower, and TV in the bathroom mirror. Customer service was top notch. Location was great -... More

The view from the 19th floor was phenomenal and the service was top-notch. I now recommend this hotel to anyone I know who plans on visiting Chicago. The... More

The moment you drive up to The Elysian you feel like you're visiting a home. The circle drive makes the hotel feel tucked away. Beautiful lobby, 5 star service. All the amenities without added cost. Blown away! More
