We picked this hotel largely because of the many good reviews on this site. Our experience was quite mixed, certainly not up to par with what most others have said. We arrived on Friday nite and received very friendly greeting at curb, kind help with bags, etc. Another warm welcome once inside, guiding us to check in desk. So, high... More

We recently spent three nights at The James Chicago for a mid-week winter holiday. The concierge and staff were enormously helpful in providing information about restaurants and sights. We loved the twice daily housekeeping service. Location is perfect for exploring Chicago without a car as it's only a block from Michigan Ave and a nice 15 minute walk to Millennium... More

LOVE this hotel. I've stayed a few times - for business and pleasure. The staff is lovely, the rooms are well-appointed and the restaurant.... well, I can't say enough about the food, atmosphere and the service. Overall, this is one of the best boutique hotels in the city. I'll be back again and again. More

The James Hotel is in a great location, just of Michigan Avenue (aka Magnificent Mile). The hotel is very cool and trendy. It has a great lobby bar that was busy every night. And, they provide FREE wifi access. I would highly recommend this hotel. More

Having family in the Chicago area, we've stayed in most 4/5-star hotels in Chicago on various trips, and the James is better than almost all of them. The price is great for what you get - spacious rooms with great furnishing, fantastic bed, fantastic amenities, etc. The staff at check-in were fantastic, as were the doormen and the porters. The...
