I stayed at this hotel for one night which was booked through a website. While it is located in one of the most beautiful buildings in Chicago and very central, it was not for me. The room was big and light and also clean, and the toiletries smelled lovely. If you like rock memorabilia this is certainly an interesting place... More

We loved the location and cool theme of this hotel. Our room was cozy and bed was comfy. There was a problem with the heating/cooling system while we were there, so that kind of made things uncomfortable. But we were having so much fun on our trip, we tried not to let it bother us. Concierge was very helpful and... More

Stayed for two nights and can't fault the place. Very friendly check in staff and efficient and professional too. Having stayed at a couple of Hard Rock Hotels previously I was expecting a 24/7 party environment, but that wasn't the case. Had a brilliant nights sleep. The only things I'd improve would be, better remote control for the TV and... More

A different kind of hotel than I've stayed in before. The room was nice, but I was a little disappointed that they couldn't accommodate my requests for a high floor with a view. The service was ok. Connected to 2 restaurants and one of them seemed to be hopping with live music late into the night. If I'd been there... More

I absolutely loved my stay and I will be back. My room was lovely, modern, and had a beautiful view of the city. I highly recommend it and I will stay there again in the future.

For full disclosure, I am more of a budget traveler. We stayed here for a wedding because it was the one recommended by the couple. They allowed a significant discount for locking in a date on their website and also offer free wi-fi if you use their website to book directly. The room was nice and clean and the location... More
